Message-Id: <0428856A-CACA-445A-9289-62977561E34C@b1towel.com> Date: Sat, 16 Oct 2010 02:22:24 -0400 From: B1towel <ben@...owel.com> To: "full-disclosure@...ts.grok.org.uk" <full-disclosure@...ts.grok.org.uk> Subject: All the md5 hashes in every single update message sent to this list What is the purpose of all the patch notification emails that when a security vulnerability is fixed the people who send out the notification email include a 5 mile long list of md5 hashes for every single package and all dependancies for the package that was updated? I feel that information does not need to be in the notification that the latest version fixed a security vulnerability, and to me it just gets in the way of reading the occasionally useful content this list has to offer. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
