NAME
Rex::Rancher::Checksum - SHA-256 checks of downloaded release artifacts
VERSION
version 0.003
SYNOPSIS
use Rex::Rancher::Checksum;
my $C = 'Rex::Rancher::Checksum';
$C->verify_sha256(
scalar $C->expected_sha256($sums_text, 'rke2.linux-amd64.tar.gz'),
scalar $C->sha256_of($sha256sum_output),
'rke2.linux-amd64.tar.gz',
);
DESCRIPTION
Pure parsing and comparison of SHA-256 checksums, the same for RKE2 and K3s: the official sha256sum-ARCH.txt of a release against the sha256sum output for the downloaded file. Nothing here reads the host; the commands that produce both texts run in "fetch_artifacts" in Rex::Rancher::Distribution. Class methods; nothing is exported. The same methods are still callable on Rex::Rancher::Distribution, which hands them on to this class.
expected_sha256
Rex::Rancher::Checksum->expected_sha256($sums_text, $asset)
The checksum for exactly $asset in an official sha256sum-ARCH.txt, or nothing. Exact name match: k3s does not pick up k3s-airgap-images-....
sha256_of
The first field of sha256sum FILE output, or nothing.
verify_sha256
Rex::Rancher::Checksum->verify_sha256($expected, $actual, $asset)
Returns 1 when both are there and equal, dies otherwise.
