Re: hacked package on server
I do think that instead of simply aborting the install with a message that
the server was compromised (was it? or is something else going on?), that
a more useful option would be to allow the user to select a different
mirror and continue the process.
Sure. I just wanted to make the point that it is important to take
extra steps to protect end-user from malicious tampering.
If you want to investigate this, the file is here. The file size is
correct, the MD5 is not.
