#45 rpkg sources" fails on MD5-syntax sources file

Reopen Issue

Fedora is full of packages with MD5-syntax sources files. E.g. perl-CPAN-DistnameInfo:

$ cat sources 
06bc803c0e4fb7735ddc7282163f1cc3  CPAN-DistnameInfo-0.12.tar.gz
$ rpkg sources
Invalid entry in sources file: 06bc803c0e4fb7735ddc7282163f1cc3  CPAN-DistnameInfo-0.12.tar.gz

fedpkg still understands the old syntax:

$ fedpkg sources
Not downloading already downloaded CPAN-DistnameInfo-0.12.tar.gz

While number of packages like this decreases, I think there is plenty of them. Could you please add support for the old format?

@mkulik is interested in this feature.

Ye, this was an intentional omission as I think md5 is way too old now and should not really be used anyway. I regrettably don't have the time to implement this (ad. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/JSFC5RHTXQG2CROTSOICSETEWS4IXCU7/).
