Description Eugene Zamriy 2021-11-30 20:19:38 UTC 
Description of problem:

Although there are "latest" checksum files for CentOS 9 Stream images (e.g. http://mirror.stream.centos.org/9-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/iso/CentOS-Stream-9-latest-x86_64-boot.iso.SHA256SUM) they don't contain a "latest" ISO file checksum.
Instead they contain check-sums of "timestamped" files.

For example, the http://mirror.stream.centos.org/9-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/iso/CentOS-Stream-9-latest-x86_64-boot.iso.SHA256SUM file has the following content:

    # CentOS-Stream-9-20211118.2-x86_64-boot.iso: 793772032 bytes
    SHA256 (CentOS-Stream-9-20211118.2-x86_64-boot.iso) = 82ad04a3c8be08d349a906a6d1b9cd0b9580481bfa26ab6f56c3ec97ce952400

so it can't be used to verify the latest CentOS-Stream-9-latest-x86_64-boot.iso file.


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the http://mirror.stream.centos.org/9-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/iso/CentOS-Stream-9-latest-x86_64-boot.iso file
2. Download the http://mirror.stream.centos.org/9-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/iso/CentOS-Stream-9-latest-x86_64-boot.iso.SHA256SUM file
3. Run the following command:
   sha256sum -c CentOS-Stream-9-latest-x86_64-boot.iso.SHA256SUM


Actual results:

It fails with the following output:

    sha256sum: CentOS-Stream-9-20211118.2-x86_64-boot.iso: No such file or directory
    CentOS-Stream-9-20211118.2-x86_64-boot.iso: FAILED open or read
    sha256sum: WARNING: 1 listed file could not be read



Expected results:

It should pass the check:

    CentOS-Stream-9-latest-x86_64-boot.iso: OK


Additional info:

That also affects tools like Packer.io because instead of using the latest URLs we need to update them after each CentOS 9 Stream ISO rebuild.

This is still happening, any updates? This is blocking some users from creating images using packer in an easy way.

We pushed this fix to our publishing scripts, which were used for today's push.

$ curl http://mirror.stream.centos.org/9-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/iso/CentOS-Stream-9-latest-x86_64-dvd1.iso.SHA256SUM
# CentOS-Stream-9-latest-x86_64-dvd1.iso: 8613003264 bytes
SHA256 (CentOS-Stream-9-latest-x86_64-dvd1.iso) = 2688febc19b7abca5423fed70882649b7f95f1a9750873aabae007b04d2ea693
Comment 3 Lance Albertson 2022-02-09 20:02:09 UTC 
Can you please also fix the SHA256SUM file and other similar files to include the "latest" files? 

Thanks!
