Description : ISO/block-level checksum utilities
isomd5sum is a set of utilities for implanting a MD5-like checksum in an
ISO (or any block device), then verifying the checksum later. isomd5sum
is part of Anaconda; when you boot a RH/Fedora installer and select
"verify cd", it's running isomd5sum.
isomd5sum is actually a subdirectory of the Anaconda tarball
(anaconda-11.1.0.50.tar.bz2 as of this writing). I am currently working
on packaging so anaconda=11.1.0.50-1 is the source package, while
isomd5sum=11.1.0.50-1 is the binary package. Essentially a multi-binary
package with only one binary package (now), if that makes sense. That
way, if any other part of Anaconda proves to be useful, multiple binary
packages can be associated with the anaconda source package.
And before anybody asks, this has nothing to do with bug #222917. I
have no intention of packaging the RH Anaconda installer itself; it's
just that one of the sets of utilities embedded within anaconda are
useful on its own.
I am not a Debian developer, and this is my first ITP, so I will need
someone to yell at me for the inevitable incorrect packaging methods
when I do submit the package.
