Please publish the file sizes of isos somewhere clearly visible,
preferably (together with their checksums) on

http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/


Use case: I bought Debian DVDs from a vendor.
Of course I wanted to test their integrity and ran

  md5sum /dev/cdrom

The reported checksum did not match the one listed on the subpages of

http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/

The reason, of course, was, that the isos are padded when written to the
medium. So I had to truncate the content of /dev/cdrom first to the
correct size. But it was a real pain in the ankle to find out which that
was: Only the last browser available on my system (links) was able to
give me file sizes that were not rounded to the next KB or MB. And that
was only when pointing it to an FTP mirror.

I think this use case should be a standard one and

http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/

could have clear instructions, including file sizes, on how to check
purchased CDs/DVDs. (I know there is the checkiso script, but it is
outdated and it admits that it does not solve the padding problem.)

reassign 420716 cdimage.debian.org
thanks

Hi Simon!

You wrote:

I'm reassigning this bug back to cdimage.debian.org.  The reporter
basically asks for a list of  exact file sizes and md5sum of all the iso
images.  This is definately out of scope for debian-www, and should be
easy enough to generate by the debian cd people.

I'd be happy to add a faq to the debian cd faq after such a list has
been made available.

I originally reported this bug against the Etch images.
The situation is still the same with the Lenny ones.
