sce-update md5.txt query

(1/3) > >>

nitram:
Update checking an SCE with a missing md5.txt file completes the update check but does not flag. The md5.txt file does not appear necessary for the update check, but should it's absence be flagged to notify the user?

Jason W:
We could do that just to make sure the sce file is not corrupt and require re-import just to be certain.

nitram:
Thanks for response, i think the md5 integrity check during  sce-update  is a good idea. The SCE gets flagged for update if either the md5sum doesn't match the SCE.md5.txt or is missing altogether, with a note during either 'SCE update check...' scrolling or in the '(v)iew package updates' section.

Jason W:
I will save this until after the bugfix RC being uploaded now, as it will be a somewhat involved change.

Jason W:
Now uploaded to RC.  The 'sce-udpate -a' option does not check for this if the debinx data is current.  Of course, manual tampering with the SCE directory is not supported, but if the OLDDEBINX and NEWDEBINX don't match on 'sce-update -a' or an individual SCE is chosen for update, there must be a valid SCE.md5.txt file or a re-import will occur.  And this is echoed to /tmp/updateavailable.
