The do_cksum scripts still do not check for missing segments in
the tarfile distributions. The whole script could be rewritten in a
much more efficient manner too (i.e., a generic script that reads a
package-specific data file that contains a list of filenames and
checksums). I have GNU textutils installed and its version of cksum
appears first in the path. As Murph would have it, it outputs in a
slightly different format (it pads the byte count with spaces) and so
the literal comparison in do_cksum fails. How about using md5
instead? Does WC or anyone at freebsd.org have a particular
attachment to the current do_cksum script? If not, I'll whip
something up and post it.
