Re: [Boost-users] Different checksums for different SourceForge locations

Ok, I believe I discovered the issue. It was the URL that was being malformed and for some reason, SF was redirecting to the snapshot version. Thank you Rene for the info. On 4 October 2016 at 22:09, Carlos Ferreira wrote:

This is also failing

But the problem is, if I use the main link from source forge, I'm redirected to the link that fails the checksum.

I also have a report https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/3266#issuecomment-251472592from an OpenWRT dev, where he's also having the same issue.

Question: Why not put the release files at Github. Since the source code is already there, why not also have the package files hosted there?

Yes! It seems that other links are failing as well.

I have tried this one and it failed to validate the sha256 checksum.

http://netcologne.dl.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/sna pshots/master/boost_1_62_0.tar.bz2

So.. That's a snapshot. That has whatever the current master branch has. Hence it's *not* the release. And hence why the checksums don't match.
