Accident with patch f on CPAN

Post #1 of 3 (261 views)

I have put Andy's patches e and f on CPAN. Unfortunately some MTA
broke the rather long lines in patch f into two parts, and I realized
it too late. So for two hours there was a broken patch f on CPAN. The
files now are:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root 7132 Dec 9 19:13 perl5.002beta1.patch.2b1e.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 19727 Dec 9 21:30 perl5.002beta1.patch.2b1f.gz

Please check your patches, if they have the correct size. My MD5
checksums now say:

perl -le 'use MD5;$md5 = new MD5;
for (<perl5.002beta1.patch.2b1*.gz>){
$md5->reset;
open HANDLE, $_ or die;
$md5->addfile(\*HANDLE);
my $hexdigest = $md5->hexdigest;
print "$_: $hexdigest";
}
'
perl5.002beta1.patch.2b1e.gz: 61d855133979b54e8c89f1fbfc893f64
perl5.002beta1.patch.2b1f.gz: 5eb7241befef26a50ef02baea3aeea55

I'd be glad, if somebody could doublecheck, that the patches after
cutting the header off should have these checksums.

Sorry, sorry, sorry,
andreas

Hmm -- I think this happened at my end. The system was just upgraded from
pine 3.89 to 3.91, so that might be the culprit.

The 19727 size looks right. I'd check the MD5 checksum if I had
MD5.pm :-(.

Thanks, Andreas, for fixing it.

If anyone needs a fixed version, you can either fetch it from CPAN,
or e-mail me and I'll uuencode one and send it.

ug. between pine and these "nice" remailers that mime everything
into uselessness, it's amazing people can exchange mail at all. :-(
(don't talk to me about pine and news, plesae. :-)
