Instructions for testing the hash are in the release test page [1]. It is also documented in the install guide.
It is the way it is I believe because Chip took the release build script from CouchDB, as mentioned in the release build page. 1: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Release+test+procedure On Oct 24, 2013, at 12:53 AM, Darren Shepherd <darren.s.sheph...@gmail.com<mailto:darren.s.sheph...@gmail.com>> wrote: But how does one validate it? I just wrote a dumb script to concatenation, remove whitespace, lowercase and then pass to "sha512sum -c." I've never seen anyone provide SHAs in that format. I wouldn't expect many people to know how to use them. Why can't we use the good old GNU coreutils style?
