[jboss-dev] Re: Checksum failures in M2 repository

I found the .pom of some artifacts in repository.jboss.org/maven2 have different MD5/SHA1 checksum from what their .pom.md5 and .pom.sha1 claims. This is a sort of a problem because it makes Maven to hit the repository server twice (i.e. retries), slowing down the initial build. I have fixed some of them, but I'm not sure I have fixed all of them. I'm checking out the whole repository, but it's taking too long. Probably someone with proper access right to the repository SVN could fix this easily? I used the following shell script: $ cat /usr/local/bin/update-pom-checksum #!/bin/sh -e find "$@" -name "*.pom" -print | while read F; do sha1sum "$F" | perl -pi -e 's/ +.*[\r\n]//' > $F.sha1 md5sum "$F" | perl -pi -e 's/ +.*[\r\n]//' > $F.md5 done If the checksum was correct, it wouldn't increase the commit traffic, so I think it's fine to generate the checksum files for all .pom files. On the other hand, I also have found some .pom files don't have .md5 and .sha1 files at all. In this case, the checksum files need to be added to the repository once they are generated (i.e. svn add.) — Trustin Lee, http://gleamynode.net/
