From: Samuel Martin Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2015 15:26:14 +0000 (+0200) Subject: Revert "manual: Add notes about GitHub and hashes" X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=539acb7500588d0a277357cf831c9f25f770578d;p=buildroot.git Revert "manual: Add notes about GitHub and hashes" This note is no longer needed, so remove it. Tarballs generated by GitHub are always the same, so hashes can be checked. This reverts commit 9474cc2594c8643301164500ce6eb62546da2b8f.
