rsync does MD4 integrity checks, so using this (recommanded) method, you can ensure of the integrity. Obvisouly, it doesn't check the sums with respect to the Packages/Release, but if the upstream mirror can be trusted, it's ok. BTW, it seems ftp.linux.cz is not referenced in the list of mirrors, could you communicate http://debian.org/mirrors/ to the admin ? ftp://ftp.linux.cz/pub/linux/debian-non-US/ can be dropped, since it is deprecated since the release of sarge. > I reply him, that it should not be too dificult to generate input for > `md5sum -c -' from Release & Packages files using perl and can do it, > but I think, that something must exists already. > So, is there some utility, that can verify checksums from archive index > files (integrity of archive)? I follow the discussion on debian-mirrors, the right place to find such scripts :) Regards, -- Simon Paillard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
