rpm -V and prelinked binaries
I’v been asked this question a few times over the last year or so, so I thought I would explain some of why you might see some issues on a Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux system (or any other Linux distribution that uses prelinked binaries) when trying to track down strange MD5/SHA1 changes to [...]
Some quick git tips
