             Summary: Remove false positives from reported verification script failures.
                 Key: ARIES-1551
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-1551
             Project: Aries
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Site
            Reporter: John Ross
            Priority: Minor


The verification script [1] could use some improvement.

First, the script should not attempt SHA1 or MD5 verification for the ASC files [2]. 

Second, in my environment at least (Linux), the script will report RAT failures regarding PNG files [3].

Note that the first two issues may be eliminated by appending .asc$ and .png$ to the regular expression on lines 41 and 51 in verify_staged_release.sh. For example:

for i in `find ${DOWNLOAD}/${STAGING} -type f | egrep -v
'.md5$|.sha1$|index.html|maven-metadata.xml|.asc$|.png$'

Finally, there is at least one known case (org.apache.aries.transaction.jdbc) where the verification script will download the SHA1 and MD5 files but not the main file (HTML) which causes failures [4].
