It also means that Buildroot 2015.05 will stop working at some point
when this file is updated. The problem is not much about Buildroot
master , which is easily fixable, but about our releases, that get
broken as soon as upstream changes that file.

I am not really happy with either solutions: either add a hash and break
releases in the future, or not add a hash file, and miss updates,
especially in the autobuilders (even though they do remove downloads
from time to time.

One case for the adding the hash, too, is that it will tell people that
their local copy in their local cache (e.g. my ~/src/ ) is out-of-date.

Still, I'm not convinced we want that hash...

Do we have other such packages (I think I read there was another
version-less package for now)?

Yann E. MORIN.
