Hey Jun,
I was expecting that you just used md5sum (GNU version).
The nice part of using it is that when scripting a check it has a -c option:
md5sum -c kafka_2.11-0.9.0.0.tgz.md5
The difficult bit with what is currently there, is that it has a whole
bunch of newlines and spacing in it. So I had to do some janky shell
scripting to parse out what I wanted. Here's the basic gist of it if anyone
finds this useful:
SOURCE_CHECKSUM=`md5sum kafka_2.11-0.9.0.0.tgz | awk '{print $1}'`
TARGET_CHECKSUM=`cat kafka_2.11-0.9.0.0.tgz.md5 | tr -d '\n' | awk '{ line
= sprintf("%s", $0); gsub(/[[:space:]]/, "", line); split(line, parts,
":"); print tolower(parts[2]) }'`
if [ "$SOURCE_CHECKSUM" == "$TARGET_CHECKSUM" ]
...
fi
Not a huge deal I just think it would make it easier for folks to use the
former rather than GPG.
Cheers,
Xavier
