We're using scripts for these of course. With the more than 400 packages
we're providing everything else would be insane. The checksums should
and are created on the machines they are built on to help protect the
gigabytes of data as early as possible.

Jürgen uses a self written script for that. AFAIK it is not publically
available yet. If needed it can be rewritten with a few lines of a
script language.

Don't know about these. It would be stupid to do all of it manually. I
suggest the owners of these tasks share their scripts, e.g. in the
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/devtools/scripts/ directory.
