The following page has been changed by BrettPorter:

=== Checksum format ===
- Different tools on different platforms write an md5 file in different formats.
+ Different tools on different platforms write checksum file in different formats.
The standard agreed for the ASF repository is:
{{{
- d1dcb0fbee884bb855bb327b8190af36 commons-collections-3.1.jar
+ d1dcb0fbee884bb855bb327b8190af36 *commons-collections-3.1.jar
}}}
The name of the checksum file should be the original filename with ".md5" appended, in lowercase.
- This is equivalent to the output of GNU md5sum, without the "*" to indicate a binary file. All files are to be treated as binary.
+ This is equivalent to the output of GNU md5sum, where "*" indicates a binary file.
It is recommended but optional to also store a SHA1 checksum, following the same guidelines. The extension in this case is ".sha1" in lowercase.
+
+ Some files will only include the sum and not the filename. Tools should also be able to parse this.
