Dear Rakudo distributors,

Thanks for making Rakudo available. One piece of suggestion -maybe it exists somewhere but I missed- I think it would be great if you could provide a file checksum list along with the released binaries. That should not be difficult and would be particularly helpful when your release is not digitally signed. Thanks.

Hello! Thanks for the report.

Are you referring to rakudo releases or rakudo star releases? Both don't come with checksums, but rakudo releases *are* digitally signed.

Compare​:
* https://rakudo.perl6.org/downloads/rakudo/
* https://rakudo.perl6.org/downloads/star/

So do we need checksums for both? Or are you OK with just a signature? In which case, maybe rakudo star releases should be signed?

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Sorry for being ambiguous -- I was referring to the rakudo star releases. Yeah, I guess it would be super if you sign or checksum the rakudo star releases, as they are binary installers. Thanks again!

OK. I created this issue for rakudo star​: rakudo/star#106

I'll mark this ticket as resolved. See the ticket linked above to follow the actual progress on the issue.
