icewm md5sums wrong on Slackbuilds
 
FYI, at 10:50EST 01/17/10 I got mismatched md5sums on the file icewm-1.2.37.tar.gz for those thinking of going that route today...curiously while I've got net, I'm in a place where I can't email the maintainer directly.

It sometimes happens, what I tend to do is work out the md5sum of the file that you have and put it into the .info file. If the source has been downloaded from the maintainers site it should be relatively safe to do this.

yeah I've done that before but...it kinda defeats the purpose of the md5 signature yes?
