Annotation of pgp/contrib/md5sum/readme, revision 1.1.1.2

1.1       root        1: This utility computes MD5 checksums of files, ignoring end-of-line
1.1.1.2 ! root        2: conventions unless the -b (binary) flag is set.  The file "pgp23.md5"
1.1       root        3: contains the signatures of all the files in the source.  If you are
1.1.1.2 ! root        4: in the source directory and run "md5sum -c pgp23.md5", you will get
1.1       root        5: an error message if any files fail to match.  If all files match,
                      6: nothing will be printed.
                      7: 
                      8: You need to borrow some files from the PGP sources to compile this
                      9: utility (md5.c, md5.h, and possibly the getopt implementation);
                     10: see the md5sum.c file for details.
                     11: 
1.1.1.2 ! root       12: The file pgp23.md5 is signed by one of the developers, so you can be
1.1       root       13: reasonably sure it's correct.  It would be possible for a hard-working
                     14: miscreant to fiddle with the distribution so all of this mutual checking
                     15: would not show any errors, but it's not going to happen accidentally.
                     16: And if you have a previous version of PGP that you trust, it's not going
                     17: to happen at all.
                     18: 
                     19: The only other thing that's needed is a detached PGP signature of the
1.1.1.2 ! root       20: files md5sum.c, md5.c and md5.h, and anyone with a previous trusted
        !            21: version of PGP can be sure that no tampering has occurred anywhere, and
        !            22: that's here:
