The main arm repository is broken

Right after the installation of Slitaz ARM (slitaz-rpi-desktop-20140329.tar.bz2) to SD and the successful boot I'd tried to upgrade packages. Fail. spk-up is infinitly downloading the first package again and again. With "ash -x" I found there is no md5 info got by the script, therefore it removes the successfuly downloaded package and download it again. Moreover the

http://cook.slitaz.org/cross/arm/packages/packages.desc

contains info about a lot of packages, but only 6 are here:

http://cook.slitaz.org/cross/arm/packages/packages.md5

I suppose the incomplete list of the md5 sums results to the error described above. Please, fix it or point me to the correct solution if I'm completly wrong.

Also I found strange spk-up tries to download the first package even if it marked as "New build" - why ? I understand the "New build" as the up-to-date package, is it right ?

Re: The main arm repository is broken

Same behavior with spk-add.

Commenting lines 144-150 in /usr/lib/slitaz/libspk.sh (after header line # Check that the package has the correct checksum )

would be a dirty workaround: Checksum is not tested.

But at least the package is transfered and processing continues.

To resolve the problem, a maintainer should supply complete files

packages.list and packages.md5 in the repository.
