we're on a Debian/Linux, i wget http://swtch.com/plan9port/plan9port.tgz
and http://swtch.com/cgi-bin/info.cgi?file=/plan9port/plan9port.tgz

speichernix:/9installer# cat MD5_and_stuff
$ ls -l plan9port.tgz
-rw-r--r--  1 rsc  users  11970678 Mar  2 00:00 plan9port.tgz

1818651ac0ed059527036b27d6d5f8c8  plan9port.tgz
speichernix:/9installer#

getting it multiple times doesn't help. But i wanted to go for security
before providing it to a small herd of nerds.

m, still not sure the Debian isn't breached :]

Try _plan9port.tgz.  I don't know what the difference is --
the mtimes suggest russ changed something today.

still not too convincing:

OK; I assume Russ will clear things up, but it just
looks to me like he's been moving some things around.
In any case, the hash you're using to compare is old:
it is dated Feb. 2 whereas the current plan9port.tgz
is dated Mar. 2.  The shell script that updates the
tarball whenever there are changes to be pulled in
from CVS doesn't update the hash.  From poking at
the logs it looks as though the newest one just pulled
in some bug fixes for libp9client that went into CVS
yesterday.  It isn't as if the hash really helps since
the hash and the distribution are sitting on the same
filesystem in the first place.  In any event, the
tarball dated Mar. 2 has the sha1 hash:

	5d02e205d88667a6a063fac65111ddbc7b00d20a	plan9port.tgz

You have the right file.  There was a bug in my checksum script.
It was supposed to use mk to update the checksums on demand,
but mk moved and my script didn't get updated.

As William noted, the checksums hadn't been updated in a month,
so no one had actually checked them in a month.  I guess that
confirms my suspicion that most people don't care.

The hash is to allow people to check for network errors during
download, not swtch.com file system corruption.
