Original bug ID: 3578
Reporter: administrator
Status: closed
Resolution: fixed
Priority: normal
Severity: minor
Category: ~DO NOT USE (was: OCaml general)

Bug description

I just downloaded ocaml-3.08.3.tar.bz2 from caml.inria.fr and found
that the file MD5SUMS is older (2005-02-18) than the tar files for
3.08.3 (2005-03-24) and, sure enough, the MD5-sums don't match.

Whatever happened to ocaml-3.08.3.tar.{gz,bz2} between the 18th and
the 24th of March is most likely harmless (a hacker would have covered
his tracks trivially :) but nonetheless I think it's time to update
the checksum file. Adding a short note explaining the change would be
a bonus as "silent updates" tend to create a not-so-warm-and-fuzzy gut
feeling...

Regards,
Stefan Jankowski

If you follow the caml-list, you will know that the original archives
contained superfluous CVS files. I've removed them and uploaded the
new archives, but I forgot to update the MD5SUMS file.

It is fixed now. Thanks for the report.
