Verify the integrity of Debian CDs-part 2
First,I appreciated the responses I had with the part 1 of this
article.Thanks.
Second,I tested the methods that some of you showed me.All output
the same md5sum for the tested CD.However,I guess this is not very
helpful for the following reason:
Different options in jigdo(or mkisofs)will probably generate
slightly different .iso files,then different md5sums.If the
different CD vendors assembling the ISOs use different options
of the official (published) .iso files(md5sums),would be a
waste of time trying to verify the integrity of a particular CD
set.Not talking about potential problems that particular CD
recording software could raise,or mounting /cdrom in a Linux
file system.
So a universal,consistent and straightforward way to verify
the integrity of a particular set of CDs is needed.Am I wrong?
Despite this,I am still interested in the published MD5SUM files
for the weekly snapshots generated in April.In this page:
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/cd/jigdo-area/powerpc/
Is there a place where I can find them?
