Litecoin 0.21.2 SHA256SUMS.asc

Technical Support
#1

Latest release litecoin-0.21.2 does not seem to have the SHA256SUMS.asc mentioned in README-HOWTO-GPG-VERIFY-TEAM-MEMBERS-KEY.txt

I did see a list of checksums on the release notes in github/here but it’s not in a signed file like every other release and cannot be verified.

Is there a reason that file is missing, or was it an omission? If it’s no longer being provided, will the README-HOWTO-GPG-VERIFY-TEAM-MEMBERS-KEY.txt receive an update?

Probably this partially answers your question:

It does not. There is no mention in that other thread or the release notes as to why the SHA256SUMS.asc file is not there for this release.

As mentioned, I already saw the list of hashes on those release notes, but those are not in a signed file uploaded with the release, as previously done for releases, and so we have no means to verify those hashes are the correct hashes or that they came from the Litecoin team members.

Ah, now I understand. This seems like a valid concern… @David @losh11

A little late to this party, but we did eventually add SHA256SUMS.asc to 0.21.2, and we were sure to include one in 0.21.2.1. I’ve been working on automating our release process for some time now, but there’s still a few more manual steps involved that I haven’t gotten to yet. This file was one of them, and I was just very slow to get it added (sorry).
