Windows download SHA512 sum doesnt matches

[xodiumluma]

Hello, I downloaded TheiaIDESetup.exe and TheiaIDESetup-1.62.200.exe from the project download area.

Their SHA512 checksums (4cee229be1a0e4c231ee48c232af963143a3d6d7d9513c6d9e7ba5c379e4fcfa613291c4b047cfa90f7d4cc6617b0430926077accab48b2f3118651f398ddb5f) doesn't match whats in the YAML file - which is TO4im+Gg5MIx7kjCMq+WMUOj1tfZUTxtnnulw3nk/PphMpHEsEfPqQ99TMZhewQwkmB3rMq0iy8xGGUfOY3bXw==.

Why you know the reason behind this? thanks

cc @sgraband you're doing the releases right now, right?

[sgraband]

Yes i do, i did an investigation about something similar beforehand. See eclipse-theia/theia-ide#397. There the issue was that the yaml sha's were base64 encoded, but after a quick check, this seems to be not the issue here, right?

I'm pretty unfamiliar with the signing/checksum stuff, so maybe @jfaltermeier has an idea?

We inherit this additional base64 encoding from electron-builder, I guess they want the checksum to be shorter.

However, the values look fine for me:

sha512sum /home/johannes/Downloads/TheiaIDESetup-1.62.200.exe | awk '{print $1}' | xxd -r -p | base64
