I'm having some issues in downloading the Boost 1.62 package from the SF servers. It seems that the Eastern US servers checksum values are not matching the rest of the servers, nor the checksum values provided at the Boost.org website. Is there anyone else having the same problem? -- Carlos Miguel Ferreira Researcher at Telecommunications Institute Aveiro - Portugal Work E-mail - cmf@av.it.pt Skype & GTalk -> carlosmf.pt@gmail.com LinkedIn -> http://www.linkedin.com/in/carlosmferreira

Do you have links to one that has the bad checksum, and to one that has the correct checksum? I'd like to verify if it's just you :-) -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail

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/snapshots/master/bo... On 4 October 2016 at 19:45, Rene Rivera wrote:

Sorry, forgot to add a link that works. This one worked for me http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1.62.0/boost_1_62_0.tar... On 4 October 2016 at 19:58, Carlos Ferreira wrote:

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. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail

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? On 4 October 2016 at 21:01, Rene Rivera wrote:

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:

We've tried a few different file hosting services.. And, so far, SF is the only one that handles the large binary builds. And since we'd rather keep the source and binary packages in one place we are sticking with SF until something better comes along. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail
