[sword-devel] The SWORD main site hacked ?...

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Catalin,
	From your statement that the files inside the zip remaining the same, I 
would conclude that the site was not hacked.  Those packages are 
autogenerated with make-like logic, so if anything regarding the package 
changes, they are rebuilt.  Sometimes the generated files are simply 
removed.  I would deduce that the reason for different MD5 sums between 
2 zips of the exact same files would be due to a newer version of the 
Java zip utility classes (we also frequently upgrade our Java 
distribution that runs our services on CrossWire).  Hope this puts your 
mind at ease.  Thanks for the concern.

	-Troy.
