First sorry for top posting, I am using hotmail/outlook, and dont know how to setup bottom posting
Also honestly, I never really knew about this convention of bottom posting 

Second, that a lot Corwin, adding the SHA hashes will be great 

Finally, just my 2 cent, SHA1 is to my knowledge is considered obsolete and broken https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1
So I think SHA-256 should be enough, and if you want to can consider SHA-512 

Most project I see use SHA-256, and only very few offer or use SHA-512

Thanks
Ali

I think this is a great idea.  If nobody objects, I'll start including
something along these lines with my next upload of Windows binaries
(or maybe sooner, backfilling something for 28.1).

For the moment, you can get SHA1 sums for all (or at least, nearly
all) the binaries I've created from here:

https://corwin.bru.st/emacs-28/README

(The parent folder --which has indexing enabled-- is where I've been
staging my files before uploading to the GNU FTP servers and often
includes other builds that I don't plan to upload.)

If these don't work LMK and I'll regenerate the README file.  I do
have a script for that but it will take a little fooling around to
make it worthly of including on the GNU FTP site (presuming others
agree with me your idea of adding files with SHA1 information to the
FTP folders is a good one).

Thanks for the suggestion.
