Hi,
Currently Linaro is not providing checksum file for LEB images.
For example,
http://releases.linaro.org/12.03/android/leb-panda/
has MD5SUM files but it contains value for only
boot.tar.bz2, system.tar.bz2 and userdata.tar.bz2.
There is no equivalent for the most important file which is LEB image:
panda-ics-gcc46-tilt-tracking-blob.img.gz
It would be more user friendly if we have md5 or sha1 checksum
file for LEB image since not all people have good Internet connection
and would likely to check integrity of large downloaded file after
taking very long time.
My preference of the name convention of the checksum file is:
panda-ics-gcc46-tilt-tracking-blob.img.gz
<- original binary image
panda-ics-gcc46-tilt-tracking-blob.img.gz.md5sum
<- md5sum hash file
Yes, I agree that our prebuilt images should get checksums (both android and ubuntu)
Looped in Andy and Fathi for that. They worked on this "pretty pretty" new distribution feature offered by platform. Thanks for your suggestion!
I hope we might be able to do this manually for this month release (Fathi?); properly landing this in our automation infrastructure might take more than a couple of days and I wouldn't commit that we get there by 12.04 milestone. But let's see...
