Hi,

thanks for the upgrade.

Today, I contacted the Debian maintainer on how he wants to
distinguish between exfat-utils vs. exfatprogs as Linux v5.7 entered
Debian/unstable.

When I looked at the release/tags page on github:

Can you please offer tar.xz tarballs, please?
Hashes? Like sha256sum
Signing keys? (Signed tarballs?)

Thanks.

Hello Sedat,

For v1.0.3 and later releases, we can provide tar.xz tarballs, hashes
and detached signatures.
But is there a reason why hashes are required despite the signature?

We will let you know when it's done.

Thanks.

Regards,
Hyunchul

Hi Hyunchul,

thanks for your feedback and providing tar.xz tarballs.

BTW, Debian uses tar.xz tarballs as default for their packages.

Hashes are for me a way to check if my download was complete and correct.
That is the normal way.
To sign them, too.

Some days ago I downloaded Grml ISO-image.
For ISO-images I see you can verify your download via hashes (sha1,
md5 or better sha256 or sha512).
I had once a Red Hat ISO-Image which did not install correctly.
Checking the ISO-Image via offered hashes revealed it was not
complete/correct downloaded.
That happened once in my life.

I see another topic:
In the Debian world we have now exfat-utils (exfat-fuse based) and no
exfatprogs Debian package.
Some days ago Linux v5.7 entered Debian/testing AMD64 - my preferred distro.
It's still on my todo-list but I have not tested the kernel-side of
exfat-fs implementation.

As said I contacted the Debian maintainer via PM and he is thinking of
taking the maintenance of exfatprogs.
But he did not do a last decision.

You happen to know what other Linux distributions do in this topic?

Thanks.

Suse has incorporated and backported exfat in Leap 15.2 and SLES 15 SP2.
