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. > 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.
