[WARNING] No digest algorithm is available to verify download of... [message #1855677]

Hi, I am using Eclipse 4.24 and I am encountering the "No digest algorithm is available to verify download of..." warning when updating from a remote repository.

I verified that it does not happen when the repository is available locally.

Based here - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=578726, the issue is supposed to be resolved, but I am still encountering it.

Any inputs? Thank you in advance!

If the remote repository is missing the digest information in the artifact metadata then you will be this message. Specifically these properties in the artifacts.xml in the artifacts.jar of the repository should be present:

        <property name='download.md5' value='2e293b7d69dee0e4ca04594ba8c3ec76'/>
        <property name='download.checksum.md5' value='2e293b7d69dee0e4ca04594ba8c3ec76'/>
        <property name='download.checksum.sha-256' value='c5553e95b459529192433486d4c4cc22ff45a2eae4968484f9f717319264a532'/>

That will need to be fixed by the repository provider.

Hi Ed, thank you for your reply. I just verified from the artifacts.xml that the features with warnings do not have the checksum, but others have.

Do you know if it already has a fix? I keep seeing in other forums that the issue was resolved, but I did not see any actual solution (or maybe I missed it).

Thank you in advance!

I think you are assuming that I know which repository you are referring to. Where can I go look? If there is a "broken" repository it's highly unlikely ever to be fixed but rather a newer version will be published to a newer repository location to fix the problem. Where can I see such a problem?

I did some more digging, compared the previously generated artifacts.xml and found out that checksum is not being generated for org.eclipse.update.feature. With this, the warnings are expected. Thank you for your input!
