[k3b] [Bug 385635] verification appears to be via checksum comparison rather than actual data comparison

--- Comment #2 from zcw913 at aserty.com ---
You've got some problems wrt to what you've got on K3B on the internet:

1) the first thing I did before submitting the bug report was to search for
    a newer version but the search didn't show anything newer than 2.0.2

2) I also did a search in the bugs database and there didn't seem to be
    anything related

3) Today I was able to look at your message and discover that there are
    newer versions of K3B, BUT, there don't seem to be any release notes
    to be found for these newer versions except 17.11.0 and these didn't
    say anything about read back checks and checksums.

4) I downloaded 17.08 and there was a ChangeLog (good), but, there was
    nothing about read back checks (bad).

    I figured I'd try to build it to see what happens - haven't tried building
    anything with cmake before. I was in Mint and there is a Mint specific
    cmake and it seemed to install OK, but, it claimed my C compiler was
    defective. I switched to Debian which is where I want this to be anyway.
    Again, needed to install cmake, but, it was on the Debian DVD and it
    installed OK. No complaints about the C compiler this time, but, it also
    wanted C++. Fair enough, easy to install. Then it wanted Qt 5 - that
    was something like 60 packages and it took 2 attempts because the
    software manager is defective. Build still fails because it's just not the
    right version of Qt 5. I've got Debian 8.6.0 installed and would like to
    move to 9.1.0, but, it just won't install (I think they've gone to 9.2.0
    in the time I've spent trying to install it). And if/when I get Debian 9
    installed there's no guarantee that things will work any better.

5) Searched for Debian K3B packages today and got 2.0.2 for Debian 8
    and 2.0.3 for Debian 9 which raises the question of what's compatible.
    What use can a version like 17.08 or the latest version, 17.11, be
    if it isn't compatible with something like the latest version of Debian?
    And, of course, there's no sign of any change in the read back check
    anyway.

6) Documentation for K3B on the internet seems to be for 2.0.2 and I
    think maybe earlier versions. I don't recall seeing any newer docs.

Your refusal to accept a bug report for 2.0.2 basically boils down to a
cop out. I, like most people, can't build my own Linux distribution or large
chunks of it and have to depend on what others have built. Debian is a
major Linux distribution and, at the moment, the latest working version
appears to be 8. Bug reporting can't work if I can't report on what I can
realistically actually have.
