Checksums for VIPM packages

[carlos_camargo]

Please create and add checksums for the Core and each of the individual packages.  This is necessary for companies to be able to trust the integrity of software being downloaded.

Thank you for your suggestion and for highlighting the importance of software integrity. We completely agree that providing checksums is a valuable step in helping organizations verify the authenticity of their downloads. We'll make sure to include checksums for packages in the next release. Your input directly helps us improve, and we appreciate your commitment to strengthening DQMH.

Tracked internally as Issue #1009

Thanks very much for accepting the request and putting it into development.  Do you know when the version incorporating checksums will be released?

[mbaudot]

We are confident we should be able to release DQMH 7.1 Patch 1, incorporating this feature, by the end of July.
