In order to get around an oomph bug, someone recommended I download the nightly from

https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/oomph/products/latest/eclipse-inst-linux64.tar.gz

After downloading, I went to check the SHA512 hash using sha512sum on Linux, and something is strange. The download page says the hash should read

2727d20b8b703ef9c5593c770bce8a3efbd68dc15310de6223993f024235bf38bf2e716f8b3a142f768b84f99817204c52982d77857490546fbc12eb45021517  eclipse-inst-linux64.tar.gz

but when I download the file and use

sha512sum eclipse-inst-linux64.tar.gz

I get:

ef197529f21bc0d8cdbdd9d1f357a288206317c5ccd7412175a0422bc1829f396c3e543471651d9429eba32df3e04548bba76ad47af67263f4e05c035f33559d  eclipse-inst-linux64.tar.gz

Most likely I'm doing something wrong, but what? I've redownloaded five times.

FYI my Unix is:

Linux osboxes 4.15.0-33-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 15 16:00:05 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

and my sha512sum is:

sha512sum (GNU coreutils) 8.28

The wrong checksum is a recurring theme. The server caches this value, but it doesn't notice when there is an updated file at the location so as to recompute the cached value:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=534741

So far no solution has been proposed, other than the webmaster manually invalidating the cache it each time someone complains.
