enable md5hash by default?
Last modified: 2010-11-14 16:38:41 EST
Hi - Can md5hash be enabled by default in mbuffer? Sorry, I don't understand from the spec comments why md5hash feature is omitted by default. Currently with: mbuffer-20100526-1.fc12.i686 $ mbuffer --hash list mbuffer: fatal: hash calculation support has not been compiled in! A simple recompile 'rpmbuild --rebuild --with md5hash mbuffer-20100526-1.fc12.src.rpm' seems to build/link ok and provide a generous list of hashes to use: $ mbuffer --hash list valid hash functions are: MD2 SNEFRU256 SNEFRU128 RIPEMD320 RIPEMD256 RIPEMD128 WHIRLPOOL SHA384 SHA512 SHA224 ADLER32 SHA256 MD4 TIGER160 TIGER128 HAVAL128 HAVAL160 HAVAL192 HAVAL224 CRC32B GOST TIGER RIPEMD160 HAVAL256 SHA1 MD5 CRC32 And basic tests seem to work: $ echo foobar | mbuffer -H > /dev/null summary: 0.0 kByte in 0.0 sec - average of 0.0 kB/s MD5 hash: 14758f1afd44c09b7992073ccf00b43d $ echo foobar | md5sum 14758f1afd44c09b7992073ccf00b43d - $ echo foobar | mbuffer --hash SHA256 > /dev/null summary: 0.0 kByte in 0.0 sec - average of 0.0 kB/s SHA256 hash: aec070645fe53ee3b3763059376134f058cc337247c978add178b6ccdfb0019f $ echo foobar | sha256sum aec070645fe53ee3b3763059376134f058cc337247c978add178b6ccdfb0019f - Seems we could just reverse the default logic to enable md5hash. Thanks for your consideration (and the recent update)!

This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Works for me, thanks!
