Subject: cron: Cron sources md5sum incorrect in .dsc file
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 2.91
Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-38
dpkg-source, upon trying to unpack cron, says the md5sum for the
.orig.tar.gz file is incorrect, and sure enough it is.
Also, it seems that during the make process, the DEFS= line in the
Makefile should include -DUSE_SIGCHLD. This is certainly necessary
for the alpha.

After some investigation, I find that the orig.tar.gz file
on master.debian.org was dated 2-Dec-1996, and thus matches
the upload of release -36. The md5sum does match the
.changes and .dsc files for that release.
When I uploaded -37, I uploaded the original source again, but
although the size was the same, the md5sum was different (new
version of gzip, perhaps? It's hard to tell, what with dpkg-source
unpacking and repacking archives every 15 seconds). Apparently,
that new copy did not get placed in the source/admin directory. Release
-38 was just a diff.gz, and so the md5sum (calculated on my
machine, of course) still doesn't match the old orig.tar.gz.
I've put my copy of the orig.tar.gz file (which matches
the md5sum in the .dsc files) in my personal directory
on master, and I'll send a message to Guy asking
him to move it.

This sounds OK. Herbert Xu volunteered to maintain cron when I bailed,
so I'll pass this on to him, unless he wants to un-volunteer for one
more release. I don't think it will make into rex, though.
