Problems with the .template checksum
All, I downloaded the latest jigdo and the .template files from http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r0/i386/jigdo-dvd/ and I get this when i enter jigo-lite >>> Error - template checksum mismatch! The .template file does not belong to the .jigdo file - the chances are high that the image generation process will break. I will abort now. If you know better than me and want this error to be ignored, enter the string "42" to proceed. <<< Please advice me if i can proceed with image creation ? Is there a real issue with the image checksum mismatch or am i doing something wrong on my side ? -- Bhasker C V To feel rich count all things you have in life that money can't buy. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I thought about SHA1 when I first came up with the file format. At the time, MD5 was already considered weakend because different content with matching MD5s had been found. Still, in the end I decided against SHA1 because the individual file checksums are not security sensitive - CRC64 would be just as fine IMHO. However, in hindsight I probably should have used SHA1 for the template file hash and for the hash of the final image.

Have you tried to re-download the templates? I used rsync and jigdo says the checksumms match. >Please advice me if i can proceed with image creation ? If after downloading again you still get this error you might try to proceed. If the image checksum matches there's no problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
