Hi,
It's possible to calculate the checksums yourself. Just install the openssl package and then run the following:
$ openssl sha256 filename.tar.gz
(with filename.tar.gz being the name of the source tarball that you're using)
Hope this helps
Charles, obviously....I can also use sha256sum foo.tar.gz to get it..... IMHO, the point is to get it from the author/the source; it is _his_ checksum which is the reference, not the checksum of a file I have downloaded from his website; my file might be 'corrupt', etc.
