Hi,

I recently was doing some work to update the Debian package for the
newer releases of the various SILC utilities and found a disturbing
difference between the sha256 sums posted on the website for the
tarballs (both the .gz and .bz2) and the tarballs themselves:

% sha256sum silc-client-1.1.5.tar.gz       
e36cdd3b822d0e64879113a021898c27c015ee8ef8fc303e5e693dc877634b94 silc-client-1.1.5.tar.gz
% cat silc-client-1.1.5.tar.gz.sum
932e3e832e06df36b518b1a933bd3cff8cf628dc57ab7fd5f0b307a6e9f27d8c3583aa21607b6dd430250840e952def4726ac021e2a46f9207b20aa25ba7aed6  silc-client-1.1.5.tar.gz

% sha256sum silc-client-1.1.5.tar.bz2

% cat silc-client-1.1.5.tar.bz2.sum
2d201abdaf18232dad58e084aa08226151bb468ae6b88719b7b6edeea0780e12cc699c7d8f93603e9feeb71440aedea5589f82c0a7beb04aab2767adb6c12e54  silc-client-1.1.5.tar.bz2

After noticing the lengths were significantly different, I decided to
try sha512, and it turns out these are actually sha512, not sha256, as
advertised on the website[0]:

% sha512sum silc-client-1.1.5.tar.gz
932e3e832e06df36b518b1a933bd3cff8cf628dc57ab7fd5f0b307a6e9f27d8c3583aa21607b6dd430250840e952def4726ac021e2a46f9207b20aa25ba7aed6  silc-client-1.1.5.tar.gz
% sha512sum silc-client-1.1.5.tar.bz2
2d201abdaf18232dad58e084aa08226151bb468ae6b88719b7b6edeea0780e12cc699c7d8f93603e9feeb71440aedea5589f82c0a7beb04aab2767adb6c12e54  silc-client-1.1.5.tar.bz2

could this link be updated please?

Thanks,
Micah
