#467 Add Checksum URL for latest qcow2 build
Closed: Fixed 6 years ago Opened 7 years ago by katrinaeg.

The latest qcow2 Atomic build is available at https://getfedora.org/atomic_qcow2_latest. As far as I know, the corresponding checksum is not available via URL. Adding a checksum URL would make it possible to validate this image.


thanks @katrinaeg - we'll see if we can figure out how to do this.

@sinnykumari - how hard do you think this would be to do? I imagine the answer lies somewhere within the infra ansible repo.

If it's two URLs it's going to be racy still unfortunately.

I'd say the first thing is to have a stable URL to the latest compose; we have
https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/atomic/stable/

But that doesn't get you the latest compose. So something like a symlink in that directory latest :arrow_right: /Fedora-Atomic-28-20180425.0/ today? Then one could script finding it from the metadata.

I wouldn't be too worried about a race. You just would do the same thing you would do if the download got corrupted, try again.

That wouldn't be hard to do either

I have created a PR which should make checksum available for latest AH media - https://pagure.io/fedora-websites/pull-request/857

Please re-open this issue if you find any issue.
