Derby release 10.14.1.0 was built using the following environment:
It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded files using the PGP and MD5 signatures. MD5 verification ensures the file was not corrupted during the download process. PGP verification ensures that the file came from a certain person.
The PGP signatures can be verified using
PGP or
GPG.
First download the Apache Derby
KEYS
as well as the asc
signature file for the particular
distribution. It is important that you get these files from the ultimate
trusted source - the main ASF distribution site, rather than from a mirror.
Then verify the signatures using ...
% pgpk -a KEYS % pgpv db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc or % pgp -ka KEYS % pgp db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc or % gpg --import KEYS % gpg --verify db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc
To verify the MD5 signature on the files, you need to use a program
called md5
or md5sum
, which is
included in many unix distributions. It is also available as part of
GNU
Textutils. Windows users can get binary md5 programs from here, here, or
here.
We strongly recommend that you verify your downloads with both PGP and MD5.
