            Bug ID: 750218
           Summary: cerbero: Introduce hash for tarballs
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git master
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: cerbero
          Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

     GNOME version: ---

Currently cerbero fetch simply check if the file exist to determine if a
archive has been downloaded or not. This is a little fragile, as it won't
guaranty we are building against the "real" repository. It will also not try to
re-download if the file is truncated or corrupted.

I'd like to propose as a future enhancement, to introduce tarball hash, so
cerbero could check against the hash to reduce the risk of using the wrong
file, or a corrupted file.
