Checksums
-
i have the vivaldi and fedora repositories for dnf. can i assume that downloads from the repositories have md5sum/hashsum/checksum? what about integration with other app stores that have verification natively? can someone write a verification extension like TAILS has? am i missing something that makes my questions redundant?

is that true for windows, rpm, and deb packages? is that feature what makes it need to reload after update? likewise, are all package managers able to do this from the download site as well as the repository?

@Gwen-Dragon Almost every package on Ubuntu is downloaded and installed via repositories or verified via checksum if downloaded separate. Where are the checksums?
I opened the deb package in the Ubuntu Software Center. It specifically states "Only install this file if you trust the origin." I don't truly know the origin because there are no available checksums.
