Created around 18000 .sha256sum files for every .md5sum file I could
verify. FTP is being synced atm.

~2000 md5sum files could not be verified. Sometimes just as the md5sum
file references an absolute path (which doesn't exists anymore),
sometimes as apparently the tar.bz2 / tar.gz changed (contents!).

Further, sometimes the .md5sum files are a symbolic link.

Current todo:
 * Fix the md5sum files which reference a absolute path
 * Fix md5sum symbolic links (or maybe remove these symbolic links)
