That page is part of the Apache CMS and ASF members can edit that page by using the following http://www.apache.org/dev/cms.html#usage. Non ASF members can create a ticket within jira under the infra project and attach a patch for the changes they would like to make.

I would really like this annoyance to be resolved one way or the other. Could somebody more experienced with Apache web properties answer the question? ============================================================ Question: how do we go about discouraging it then? Do we need a vote to modify the content of: http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing#md5 Or even more basic question -- where's the source for that webpage? ============================================================ Thanks, Roman.

Ditto. It's particularly awkward when the hash is wrapped over several lines. I ended up writing a Perl script to handle all the variations. If I'm not alone perhaps we should discourage the use of this format and modify the release FAQ page. +1 Question: how do we go about discouraging it then?
