Instead of having people disabling the checks here's how you can help:


Step 1)
	go to TMPDIR and locate the checksums.ini there

Step 2)
	sort the checksums.ini:	
	python 
/OE/org.openembedded.dev/contrib/source-checker/oe-checksums-sorter.py 
checksums.ini > new

Step 3) combine the checksums.ini from OE and yours:
	cat /OE/org.openembedded.dev/conf/checksums.ini checksums.ini > 
combined-sums

Step 4)
	sort the result and apply it to OE
	python 
/OE/org.openembedded.dev/contrib/source-checker/oe-checksums-sorter.py 
combined-sums > /OE/org.openembedded.dev/conf/checksums.ini

Step 5) go to your OE dir and inspect the results:
	cd /OE/org.openembedded.dev
	git diff conf/checksums.ini

The diff should only contain additions (removals and replacements are a 
sign of corruption somewhere).

If you see no spurious changes, commit it and wait for people to bitch 
if you added a corrupted checksum ;)
