My sincerest apologies to those affected by the window of time of broken
installations.  I was not paying attention when my ISP informed me that it
did not accept my upload file because it put me over my 25meg quota, and
cgf did not catch the fact that my ISP provided a "File not found" page in
its place that did not match in size or md5sum to my upload request.
That, coupled with the fact that I was away from a computer for 24 hours
immediately after (thinking) I had uploaded -8, has led to some pretty bad
user experiences.  I am in the middle of creating coreutils-5.3.0-9 as I
type this, and will be at my computer today to ensure that it uploads
correctly.

cgf, is there anything we could do to prevent this type of mishap in the
future, such as running "tar tjvf" on proposed submissions to ensure the
uploaded file wasn't corrupted?
