Hi, I'm looking at this issue, which is a Maven core issue: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5504
There's a patch for the maven-2.2.x branch, which I have tweaked a bit and it works nicely. Since the same problem exists in Maven 3 I dove into the sources and found similar code in maven-compat in the class org.apache.maven.repository.legacy.DefaultWagonManager. Though patching that didn't solve the problem, so I'm guessing that it is no longer in use. I looked some more and realized that the bits I was looking for is now in Aether. After a bit I found the methods doing the job in Aether in the inner class org.eclipse.aether.spi.connector.layout.RepositoryLayout.Checksum. Now what I can't resolve is where in the Maven code we invoke Aether to create the checksums. Again I'm guessing, but it should be somewhere inside maven-aether-provider, but searching the code finds me nothing. Help anyone? -- Dennis Lundberg
