Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Central Checksum service going away

This service is used by automated build systems. It cannot be retired
without severe adverse consequence.

Subject: [cross-project-issues-dev] Central Checksum service going away
Folks,
Years ago I enabled a centralized checksum service and attached it to the
downloads/mirror page, as seen here:
http://eclip.se/3Q
The system is flawed in two ways:
- artifacts that change will have invalid checksums
- on occasion, a checksum is computed too early while a file is in transit,
leading to invalid sums
Since the value provided by a central service is likely very low, and I lack
the cycles to make something more robust, I'm deprecating the service.
Please see https://bugs.eclipse.org/460490
Once retired, "sums.php" will return an empty response.
Denis
