Re: [Vote] Apache River 2.1.1 Incubating Release

The NOTICE files need to be updated for 2008, i.e. replace 2007 with
2007-2008 on line 3.

The hash files use a format which is difficult to use, as the hashes
may be split over two lines.

The common MD5 format is either

hex{32}
(i.e. no spaces between hex digits)

or

hex{32}<SP>(<SP>|*)filename

Similarly for SHA1.

Also the SHA1 hashes normally have the suffix ".sha1" rather than ".sha"

The document refers to SHA digests, not SHA-1 digests specifically.

Further investigation shows that these are not the same, at least for openssl:

pwd ~ : openssl sha /dev/null
SHA(/dev/null)= f96cea198ad1dd5617ac084a3d92c6107708c0ef
pwd ~ : openssl sha1 /dev/null
SHA1(/dev/null)= da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709
pwd ~ :

[I assume that "openssl sha"  means SHA-0, but I could be wrong]

The document does not mention openssl, and gpg does not seem to
support SHA digests (whatever those may be), so presumably SHA means
SHA-1 in the document.

The format of the MD5 files for projects at Apache appear to
be inconsistent at best.  Out of approximately 57 projects
with a total of 2784 md5 files (probably less since I didn't
think to exclude sym-links) in the dist directory, I've
counted at least 7 different formats:

     most common format (1504 md5 files: 54%):

	"checksum"
	(sum only with no white space)

     second most common format (976 md5 files: 35%):

	"checksum filename"

     third most common format (269 md5 files: 10%):

	"MD5 (filename) = checksum"
	(with 2 or 3 variations in terms of white space)

And then there are a few other formats that I won't bother
to mention.

The following projects are just a subset of projects which
use the most common format:

	ant
	avalon
	commons
	db
	excalibur
	geronimo
	hivemind
	jackrabbit
	lucene
	maven
	struts
	tomcat

The following projects, among others, use the second most common
format, and you'll notice that some of these also appear in the
above list.

	avalon
	commons
	excalibur
	httpd
	lucene
	maven
	struts
	tomcat

Consistency is clearly absent with regard to MD5 formats.  Apache  
Commons, for example, uses three different MD5 formats.

I'm tempted to go with the most common practice, which is to only
use the checksum in the *.md5 files.  Comments?

Agreed that it's not a blocker. The files can even be fixed manually if desired.

Well, the format is closer, as the hash is not broken over two lines,
for example:

MD5(filename)= 464069695e3ac4998898d0633f8df032

OK, I had not noticed that.

Clearly a lot of other projects have not noticed either as there are
213 sha and 776 sha1 files under  /www/www.apache.org/dist/ - so my
statement was literally correct ;-)

GnuPG split the output into two lines because of the length of
prefixed file name.  This is trivial to fix.

I used GnuPG to generate the checksums, an option suggested in
the release signing doc:

The .sha extension is also mentioned in the in the SHA section
of the release signing doc:

The release was rolled on Jan 4th and there are no code changes since
2007, so I'd consider this at best a minor issue, probably even better
to let the date remain 2007.

Not a blocker IMHO, but something we may want to change in future releases.

I guess the checksums were generated with default Solaris tools. You
can use "openssl md5" and "openssl sha1" to generate checksum output
in the format Sebastian described.

> Also the SHA1 hashes normally have the suffix ".sha1" rather than ".sha"

Actually the suffix should be ".sha" and not ".sha1". See the "not
normative" policy (a recommendation? :-) described in
http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html#policy.

The easiest way to fix this is to remove the .sha files. If the .md5  
and .asc checksums are good, the sha is just not needed.

Not a blocker for me.

The easiest way to fix this is to remove the .sha files. If the .md5  
and .asc checksums are good, the sha is just not needed.

The release was rolled on Jan 4th and there are no code changes since
2007, so I'd consider this at best a minor issue, probably even better
to let the date remain 2007.

Not a blocker IMHO, but something we may want to change in future releases.

I guess the checksums were generated with default Solaris tools. You
can use "openssl md5" and "openssl sha1" to generate checksum output
in the format Sebastian described.

Actually the suffix should be ".sha" and not ".sha1". See the "not
normative" policy (a recommendation? :-) described in
http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html#policy.
