[maemo-developers] Repository corruption checker

I mentioned to ferenc before he left that I had a script that I used to
check for corruption of the repositories.

The perl script is here:
http://timeless.justdave.net/maemo/repository-check.txt
And syntax for using it is here:
http://timeless.justdave.net/maemo/repository-check.input

I kinda forgot where I had put it, and of course, ferenc is gone, so
this is more of a general "hey, in case people want it".

It's obviously quick and dirty, but it did work once or twice for me :).
Of course, it assumes you do have a local copy of the repository
(timeless.justdave.net does -
http://timeless.justdave.net/maemo/repository-maemo-org-dns-0.1.deb )
but that's not strictly necessary, you could w/ very little effort adapt
it to operate against the live repository (or create a script which only
downloaded the indexes and directory lists and parsed those instead of
using stat).
