Little Tool / Demo for MD5
Hi to all,
after adding the MD5 utility class I have in mind a simple Tool (or Demo ?):
an utility that generates the MD5 sum of a file (chosen) or drop to
the application GUI, in a read only text field( or in a label), and
maybe compare it with a text copied in a text filed by the user (if
provided).
There are many utilities that does so, I know ...
But do you think could be interesting (for example to see if all works
good giving to it the ISO of a CD, and see what happens) ?
Bye

Yep - they're fairly stable.

No problem.

Also to me seems a lot of work, so good luck.

I don't disagree, Todd.
The 'process' and build are pretty stable right now right? That would
be the main thing that devalues the effort.
I have a few ideas for this which I don't want to get anyone too
excited about just now, so I think I'll just take this one on myself.
:) Don't expect it any time soon though. ;-)
Cheers,
Chris

Sounds like a good idea, though I think it'd be non-trivial to implement.

I'd use it ;-)
Your MD5 demo has given me another idea for a demo which could be
quite useful to the whole team (sorry for hijacking your thread) ...
How about an app which validates a Pivot release and outputs a report
which can be copied and pasted in to an email to send to the team at
release time? ;-)
It would:
- take a release URL as input
- download the distribution archives
- check the signatures
- build the source archives
- allow the user to run each demo and mark it as 'working'
- have to be clever enough to cope with minor change to the build
(e.g. addition or removal of demos) without putting any dependency in
to the Pivot build itself
What do you think?
Cheers,
Chris

I use a little utility like this, called WinMd5Sum (take a look at the
screenshot), small, fast and very useful for lazy users ( like me :-)
).
Could be useful for others too, and also for us to test if all works
good (performances, memory used by Java, etc).
I'll put in list of my (long) TODO list ... but at low priority.
If someone is interested, tell me.

I myself wouldn't use it, but if you have a use for it, have at it :)
