Hello, Baptiste.

I've thought about checksums, but my simple experiment shows, that tag-related (not tip-related, of course) archives give same chsum after re-downloading in short time. But I don't check it for long-term stability. Ok, other idea: check-out sources (require hg/git as BUILD dependency, but anyway user will need them to build software by hands) and check strong checksum of checked out revision (as both DVCS uses strong checksums as IDs internally). It is more complex feature, than adding additional MASTER_SITES, for sure. --=20 // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <lev@FreeBSD.org>
