Just to add to that, it's named md5deep in every other linux distro, for example: http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/md5deep/ http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/repo/pkgs/md5deep/ http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=utilities&package=md5deep On 1 June 2014 01:10, Steven Honeyman <stevenhoneyman@gmail.com> wrote:
That's not the name of the software though. From the first line of the official readme file:
"This is md5deep, a set of cross-platform tools to computer hashes, or message digests, for any number of files while optionally recursively digging through the directory structure."

I general user, but i think what hashdeep is more right name for 'Universal' tool set.

I've just noticed that the md5deep [1] package (kept up-to-date, first submitted in 2006) someone has duplicated to "hashdeep" [2] in 2014. They compile from exactly the same source, and produce the same binaries. Can the hashdeep package be removed?
Also, would anybody be interested in moving md5deep over to the community repo? It's a very popular set of checksum tools that have many more features than md5sum,sha1sum (etc).
Thanks, Steven.
