Howto checking the integraty of the TAR files?

I'm generate a MD5SUM and a SHA1 Checksum on my primary working computer and publish this checksums via e-mail Release Messages and on this homepage. If you download a tar file, you can check, if it is identical with my released version with the following two commands (example with the NewsCache-1.2rc5.tar.gz):

    $ md5sum NewsCache-1.2rc5.tar.gz c6ae926b8fb4f819cc9555a7820d5662  NewsCache-1.2rc5.tar.gz

    $ openssl dgst -sha1 NewsCache-1.2rc5.tar.gz
SHA1(NewsCache-1.2rc5.tar.gz)= d03f8b75e188a0255b59db08cb1da252b05f0cc6

HowTo checking the integrity and origin of the package?

The --checksig option checks all the digests and signatures contained in PACKAGE_FILE to ensure the integrity and origin of the package. Note that signatures are now verified whenever a package is read, and --checksig is useful to verify all of the digests and signatures associated with a package.:

    $ rpm -v --checksig newscache-1.2rc6-1.i386.rpm
newscache-1.2rc6-1.i386.rpm:
    Header V3 DSA signature: OK, key ID 6c53ba75
    Header SHA1 digest: OK (540db83039be41fe2ab9b2216d5f53750c031e6e)
    MD5 digest: OK (f182b90b269fcee736e901a1172557d6)
