Since the actual release is supposedly imminent, I guess we should start reporting cosmetic errors on the principle that the people who might fix these things can't decide not to bother with bugs that they don't know about. My trivial gripe for today is about the CHECKSUM files. I check the checksums after I download and I find (in addition to the occasional unreported download error) a number of glitches in the checksum files themselves. For example, the scrypto, skerbero, and ssecure checksums are in src/CHECKSUM.MD5 while the actual distribution files are in the des subdirectory. This time around, the X11 server checksums are missing from XF86332/SUMS.md5 though for some odd reason PC98-Servers and Servers directories (not their contents) were checksummed. I am hoping that an obsessive sense of professionalism will motivate minor repairs to the procedure for building the checksum files in the releases.
