BlueZ old releases have new checksums

All,

The main archive of BlueZ/obexd/hcidump releases on kernel.org[1] finally re-appeared after missing for long time since kernel.org compromise. Unfortunately, all previous tarballs have new checksums, breaking builds for anyone w/o previous copy cached. Old copies were also extensively mirrored, so you never know which one you fetch next time...

I pinged the upstream, but I doubt it will be changed or fixed in any way. So the proper solution for us would be to upgrade recipes to the latest released versions - bluez-4.97, obexd-0.43 and bluez-hcidump-2.2.

Are there any other suggestions?

Heh, checksums changing after a security compromise, that's worrisome :) should diff their contents to see what's going on, or whether its just a gzip timestamp change or something.

That wouldn't work reliably, as some people have an old copy saved locally, while others can still download the same old copy from one of the mirrors...

Well, according to BlueZ maintainer[1], he gave the correct tarballs to kernel.org people, but for some reason they untarred and re-packed them. There's only 4 bytes difference, presumably timestamp...

/me thinks maintainers should tar -cvO | gzip -n if they're going to use gzip ;)

But then, we see it from a rather different perspective than upstreams tend to..
