Published digup 0.6.23 - A Digest Updating Tool

Published a small, but very useful console tool to update md5sum or shasum digest files. It will read existing md5sum.txt files and add new files to it without rereading the whole directory tree.

This makes digup very useful to update and verify incremental archives like chronological data storages or music collections, which are nowadays commonly stored and backuped on hard disks. Using a full file digest scan even slowly creeping bad blocks on old hard disks can be detected. By using a crontab entry, this check can be performed unattended and routinely.

For more information, the source code and binaries for various platforms see the digup web page.
