: 1. There is not yet a consensus about what the correct goals and
: mechanisms for these checksums are.
: 2. I would object to any package-building tool written by Christoph
: being made Standard without a thorough design and code review
debsums is no package building tool. Maybe you should review the issues
before posting?
And why in the world are you unable to finally come up with a release of
dpkg that includes the checksums? You first said that you would do such a
thing about one year ago.
I only released the stuff when I got the
impression that you abandoned the issue. Sometimes I think you are
abandoning the project or even worse trying to sabotage it. There is a
huge list of things that are not done because they are in your ballpark
and no one else is daring to make the necessary changes.
I have the impression that there is a dysfunctional relationship between
debian and you.
