I'm working on it for 0.7.92. I guess we should export
(a) indexRecords
(b) indexRecords::checkSum
(c) HashStringThe API could look like (we export 'lookup' as well, to be complete): >>> index_record['Contents-i386.gz'] (HashString, size) Then you could use hashstring.verify_file(filename) to verify a file. -- Julian Andres Klode - Free Software Developer Debian Developer - Contributing Member of SPI Ubuntu Member - Fellow of FSFE Website: http://jak-linux.org/ XMPP: [email protected] Debian: http://www.debian.org/ SPI: http://www.spi-inc.org/ Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/ FSFE: http://www.fsfe.org/
