question about rsync_slackware_patches.sh

JosephS · 02-21-2009, 11:17 AM

I use rsync_slackware_patches.sh for updates.

Does this script check for gpg signatures or md5sum check for files
that are downloaded?

Thanks.

If rsync_slackware_patches.sh has the words "gpg" or "md5sum", then most likely yes. Did you try looking through the script itself?

No - you need to do that yourself. A stated in the file CHECKSUMS.md5 this may be acheived with ..

Code:

md5sum -c CHECKSUMS.md5 | less

Thanks for your response.

I tried this:
md5sum -c CHECKSUMS.md5 | less

Why do I get this printout at the end; It doesn't seem to make sense?

Thanks.

I guess that that is the error output, which is really all you want to see.
Try this command instead, it will filter out all the uninteresting "OK" lines:

Code:

md5sum -c CHECKSUMS.md5 2>&1 | grep -v OK
