Checksums mismatch on the website

The checksums for the webmin downloads on the site (Downloading and Installing | Webmin) do not currently match the actual downloads with exception of the solaris .pkg, all the rest show different checksums than what the site says they should be.

Just a lapse in remembering to update the site or is there a potential issue?

There’s a bunch of changes happening on the backend in how Webmin is built and deployed. I imagine this is fallout from that. I’ll ask @Jamie (who builds the packages) and @Ilia (who made the new website) for confirmation and maybe an update.

Thanks for the heads up. Indeed checksums aren’t matching. This is an oversight though, not a security issue. We will fix that!

Also, you shouldn’t really use manual downloads – setup repos!

I can’t help it, I’m a bit aged in my familiarity in setting up webmin on personal servers lol.

I’ll take a look at the new repo thing though when I have time :stuck_out_tongue:

And thanks for the verification.

Ok I’ve updated the checksums and updated the release process so they are synced in future…
