I'd like to change this:
install: release/bash/bash-20000901.tar.bz2 276403
source: release/bash/bash-20000901-src.tar.bz2 1892899
to
install: release/bash/bash-20000901.tar.bz2 276403
158044165a04791968a7e7fc8daaef9e
source: release/bash/bash-20000901-src.tar.bz2 1892899
158044165a04791968a7e7fc8daaef9f
or
install: release/bash/bash-20000901.tar.bz2 276403
install-md5: 158044165a04791968a7e7fc8daaef9e
source: release/bash/bash-20000901-src.tar.bz2 1892899
source-md5: 158044165a04791968a7e7fc8daaef9f
I don't care which we choose. My preference is the first one - it will
keep the files smaller. Either will cause setup.exe to barf when first
introduced. Likewise for third party parsers that are ... pedantic.
To help deal with this I suggest the following approach:
with the new version I want to release, we include the new format ini
parser, but do nothing with the data. Then we can introduce features to
use it at our leisure.
Any preference folk?
