Subject: bug#64390: cksum: cannot --check untagged sums file
Date: Sat, 01 Jul 2023 02:00:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0e7c9aec4c056d254f3a045154edcf1a89467a48.camel@scientia.org> (raw)
Hey.
At least as of 9.1 (on Debian), it seems that cksum cannot --check a
sums file in the untagged style:
$ touch a b
$ cksum -a sha512 --tag * > sums.tagged
$ cksum -a sha512 --untagged * > sums.untagged
$ cat sums.tagged
SHA512 (a) = cf83e1357eefb8bdf1542850d66d8007d620e4050b5715dc83f4a921d36ce9ce47d0d13c5d85f2b0ff8318d2877eec2f63b931bd47417a81a538327af927da3e
SHA512 (b) = cf83e1357eefb8bdf1542850d66d8007d620e4050b5715dc83f4a921d36ce9ce47d0d13c5d85f2b0ff8318d2877eec2f63b931bd47417a81a538327af927da3e
$ cat sums.untagged
cf83e1357eefb8bdf1542850d66d8007d620e4050b5715dc83f4a921d36ce9ce47d0d13c5d85f2b0ff8318d2877eec2f63b931bd47417a81a538327af927da3e a

$ cksum -c sums.tagged
a: OK
b: OK
$ cksum -c sums.untagged
cksum: sums.untagged: no properly formatted checksum lines found
$ cksum -c sums.untagged --tag
cksum: sums.untagged: no properly formatted checksum lines found
$ cksum -c sums.untagged --untagged
cksum: sums.untagged: no properly formatted checksum lines found
$
Not sure whether it should try to auto-determine the format...
I guess it would be possible, as long as no algorithm name every uses
a-zA-Z0-9 as starting letter.
But I rather tend to think it would be a bad idea to do so.
However, it should be possibl to use --tag or --untagged to specify a
format.
Thanks,
Chris.
