Hi all,

You can verify the purity of the tarball of the kernel of gnuinos in a
very easy way:

Download the sources from the .deb repository of gnuinos:

wget
http://gnuinos.org/linux-libre/pool/main/l/linux/linux_4.3.5.orig.tar.bz2

Check the md5sum:

$ md5sum linux_4.3.5.orig.tar.bz2
13d35915c7a99e1e7973c932cff075e0 linux_4.3.5.orig.tar.bz2

Now download the sources from the ::[FSFLA]:: GNU Linux-libre project
(FSF-Latin América):

wget
http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/4.3.5-gnu/linux-libre-4.3.5-gnu.tar.bz2

and check the md5sum again:

$ md5sum linux-libre-4.3.5-gnu.tar.bz2
13d35915c7a99e1e7973c932cff075e0 linux-libre-4.3.5-gnu.tar.bz2

As you can see, they are the same tarball.

Here you are the utility of *pristine-tar* (fuentes puras, fonti puri...)

Gnu, new, ñu, ñu :-)

Cheers,

Aitor.
