[jira] [Commented] (BIGTOP-153) Build should detect invalid archives in the dl directory

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-153?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13599643#comment-13599643 ] 

Konstantin Boudnik commented on BIGTOP-153:
-------------------------------------------

checksums seems like a good solution where they exist. However, even a trivial check of the timestamps - e.g. creation/modification time - might provide a good safeguard against using stale source code tarballs.

> The build isn't user friendly if you have an invalid tarball in your dl directory (eg because you cntrl-c'd the build while it was running or it just got a bad file). It would be useful if the build did some basic verification of the tarballs, eg checked they were valid archive files, or (perhaps optionally) checked the md5 sums.
