Hashes and sigs look OK, though I only checked the main archives. There's a packaging problem with the source archives. I would expect the .zip and .tar.gz to have the same contents, apart possibly from line endings. However there are other differences which appear to be caused by character set problems. E.g. in LocalStrings_de.properties - zip htmlManagerServlet.appsAvailable=Verfügbar whereas in LocalStrings_de.properties - tar.gz htmlManagerServlet.appsAvailable=Verf�gbar [In case this does not make it unscathed through the mail system, the first one shows up as u-umlaut and the second as a small square.] The underlying bytes are: u-umlaut = FC blob = EF BF BD This problem affects many properties files, also changelog.xml and KEYS. Furthermore, some of the binary files are different, for example requestProcess.pdf and serverStartup.pdf. The tar.gz versions of the PDFs don't seem to be usable. The tomcat exes are also different. Perhaps no-one will use .tar.gz on Windows, but that's not impossible. Clearly the process for creating the source tar.gz archives is not working properly. The binary zip archive contains two extra (empty) directories, work and log, but otherwise the contents match, so they seem OK. The NOTICE files say: Copyright 1999-2007 The Apache Software Foundation Unless the software has not been significantly updated since 2007, that needs to be changed. Findbugs also says that there are lots of problems with the code. Some of them look quite serious, e.g. synchronising on an object reference that the code then replaces with another object.
