problem on your site: using SHA-256 and saying it is SHA-1

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello, I was just downloading Fedora off your site. I tried to verify 
the download. The downloads did not verify. For example,

Fedora-12-i386-DVD.iso

as downloaded has a SHA-1 checksum of

0dc8ed436f0b44874454a379e8de5ad057c0115d

but under the verify section,

https://fedoraproject.org/static/checksums/Fedora-12-i386-CHECKSUM

you say that its "SHA-1" checksum is

f0ad929cd259957e160ea442eb80986b5f01daaffdbcc7e5a1840a666c4447c7

As  you can see, the two checksums don't even have the same length.

The checksum you posted does match the SHA-256 checksum of the file, 
however.

If you post SHA-256 checksums, and not SHA-1 checksums please note that. 
It will save people time. Thank you.
