Ah, you are fast to adopt that new testsanity! :-)
</PRE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Well by force : I had to merge it to changes I already done :-) !<BR>
This standardization idea is good anyway.<BR>

I think maybe it is too strong to unconditionally check. We should
permit our users to take off the "safety belt".

OK. Will introduce a var DEB_WAF_SKIP_CHECKSUM.<BR>

Also, I think if we simply do checksum, it is of little help. What
indirectly we want to checksum is the _contents_ of that blob. So
really if we fail a build as "not properly checked for sanity" then we
should more clearly indicate what needs sanity checking - which isn't
looking at a hash, but instead is looking at some code and then
creating/storing a corresponding hash.

I don't get this. Do you expect a cdbs script to unpack the waf file (I don't know the format, but it is probably not so hard)<BR>
and to checksum each file inside ?<BR>

<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>

I suggest to create an independent target - not enabled by default until
fully implemented - which does checksum and unpack blob if failing.

</BLOCKQUOTE>

OK Done.

Then when good, this can be included in testsanity - conditional to some
variable which the user can then set if they find it sane to trust
upstream without this checksum.
How does that sound?

Sounds good !
