Bintray consistently providing distribution with incorrect checksum

[sparksis]

As a note, the most concerning thing about this is that the distribution from the giant Download button goes exclusively to bintray.

Wow, I hadn't spotted that before. Normally, the zips and checksums should be identical regardless of whether you download them from Apache or Bintray, e.g. do your experiment with 2.4.14 and you will see they are the same. For 2.4.15 I had a disk crash midway through the release and for e.g. 2.6.0-alpha-3, Daniel was the release manager but had troubles with one step, so I did one step from my machine. In both cases, we slipped up - a zip with identical contents but different timestamps was loaded in each case.

Short-term please check Apache zips against the Apache checksum and Bintray zips against the Bintray checksum (just append ".sha256" to the bintray zips url). I'll see if we can't get things rectified in the meantime.

Note that Apache Groovy is doing two things wrong here apart from the mismatched zips.

1. You should be using apache.bintray.com and not akamai.bintray.com
2. This very github repos is not the official Groovy repos but https://github.com/apache/groovy and so this should be closed down to avoid confusion and duplication.

Hi Gav, not sure what akamai.bintray.com is, we have a special groovy account for bintray. Is there some doco on how to access the apache one somewhere?
Wrt the website, yes we have the apache replacement repo for the website set up for quite some time now but I just haven't found the time to populate it properly yet (just bare bones info for the dev side and nothing for the user side which remains in this repo) and no-one else has offered to date. I am planning to make it higher priority for me after I get 2.5.0 out the door as it is long overdue.

I'll close this since we identified and fixed what was causing the checksum errors.
