Re: ignore checksum errors? (garnome 17.1 on AIX)

[Paul Anderson <pka et byu edu>]

Yup. On AIX, running this code:
md5sum -c checksums 2>&1 | grep -- '$*' | grep -v ':[ ]\+OK'
generates this output:
download/gnome-panel-2.0.9.tar.bz2: OK

while on my RedHat 7.2 system, it generates no output.

Further investigation leads me to believe it's AIX's grep that is the root of the problem. I'll install GNU grep tomorrow and we'll see if that doesn't fix the problem.

Cheers!

Paul.

Let's try to fix this rather than working around it. :-) The checksum rule
starts on line 92 of gar.lib.mk. Perhaps AIX has different output that we
don't handle -> could you please test?

Thanks,
