Re: Can't install packages produced on WindowsNT

APA> Hello All, Hello Andreas, hello All, can any of you help me to solve this problem? I am now fairly convinced that (md5 ...) or a function used by it is broken (both in 21.1.9 and 21.2-b32). Can anybody prove me right/wrong? See excerpts from my debug session atend, which should back up my analysis. APA> I don't know what this is yet: APA> I used to be able to build private packages under Windows NT APA> and install them using pui. APA> Just tried that again today and failed. APA> Both 21.1.9 and 21.2-b32 report incorrect md5 checksums. The created package index contains the same number as produces by md5sum -t I am using md5sum (GNU textutils) 1.22 What should the package index contain: The binary md5sum (md5sum -b)? The text md5sum (md5sum -t)? APA> I suspect (insert-file-contents-internal ...) APA> vs. (insert-file-contents ...) being used in package-get.el APA> at this point. No, this is not the problem. APA> The .el files of my packages contain CRLF as they are written APA> on Windows NT. This seems to be exposing the problem. This causes the issue of text vs. binary under WindowsNT, right? APA> Any ideas, pointers, etc? APA> Best regards, APA> Adrian Best regards, Adrian Here's some excerpts of my debug session: Validating checksum for `whois-complete'...
