Summary: cast should handle MD5[0]="ignore"
Product: Sorcery
Version: Devel
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Cast
AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
ReportedBy: seth AT tautology.org


should be made to ignore md5s that say "ignore" for daily spells and print a
security note saying that due to the nature of nightly-updated or
constantly-updating spells, the regular MD5 checking step has been overridden
by
the spell maintainer. They should be made aware that the additional
confirmation of a spell-maintainer-checked MD5 value of the original
uncompressed source no longer applies and that there is a slightly higher
additional risk involved with ignoring MD5 checking regarding modified
downloads.

I can work on a patch for this if nobody on the sorcery team has time to take
it
up right now.

Seth
