It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded
files using the PGP or MD5 signatures. Please read Verifying
HTTP Server Releases for more information on why you
should verify our releases.
The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First
download the Xerces-C++ KEYS
as well as the .asc
signature file for the particular
distribution. Make sure you get these files from the main distribution
directory, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the
signatures using:
| | |
|
% pgpk -a KEYS
% pgpv <distribution-name>.asc
| |
| | |
or
| | |
|
% pgp -ka KEYS
% pgp <distribution-name>.asc
| |
| | |
or
| | |
|
% gpg --import KEYS
% gpg --verify <distribution-name>.asc
| |
| | |
Alternatively, you can verify the MD5 signature on the files. A
command line program called md5
or md5sum
is included in most UNXI distributions. It is also available as
part of GNU
Textutils. Windows users can get binary md5 programs from here, here, or
here.
