SHA-1 files by popular request

We've received requests for .sha1 files in addition to .asc for our packages. Starting with 0.2.1.8-alpha, there are now .sha1 files in the appropriate dist directories. Displaying them on the download web page is still a bit tricky. The current layout leaves the page even more cluttered with .sha1 links all over it.

When you download a 0.2.1.8-alpha or later package, simply replace ".asc" with ".sha1" to get the hash file.

You'll then need to either "openssl sha1 {package}" or "sha1sum {package}" to see if the hash you downloaded matches the package you downloaded. Note: replace {package} with the name of the file you downloaded.

Enjoy.
