The above URL contains:
1) a full source mirror of test and devel.
2) complete md5s in both regular md5sum and 'unpack'ed MD5 form.
3) a complete test and devel report on the status of our MD5 validity.

explanations/syntaxes are in the README file.

It is updated every day/night, and it takes about 3.5 hours to update all
the sources and reports. I have SDSL rated at 640 kilobits/second based
in Salem, Oregon, so, please justify the expense I took to pay for that
line. If the download.sourcemage.org/mirror doesn't have it, chances are
that this mirror will.

The validation logic will soon be submitted as a patch to gaze for "gaze
md5" like gaze spider does. Since there's a feature freeze, I'm waiting
to submit it until after 1.0 and when the logic is more tightly refined.

The "ADD unpack md5 arg" feature of the MD5 status reports was recently
added, but it needs more work to detect more situations (like calls to
default_prebuild). Right now it is more of a warning that the md5 might
not get checked at all, and warrants a good look at PRE_BUILD.

P.S. Section Maintainers, please look at the MD5 validity status reports
if you do nothing else: http://ns2.positivism.org:8080/00.md5report

P.P.S. The IP/domain might be moving to another server in a week or two.
It's on one of my laptops, so I've got to move it off eventually, to the
more powerful server. I'll send an notice out when that happens.
