+
+verify.sh
+ does a low-level check of all advertised MAR files. Expects to have a
+ file named all-locales, but does not (yet) handle platform exceptions, so
+ these should be removed from the locales file.
+
+ prints errors on both STDOUT and STDIN, the intention is to run the
+ script with STDOUT redirected to an output log. If there is not output
+ on the console and an exit code of 0 then all tests pass; otherwise one
+ or more tests failed.
+
+ Does the following:
+
+ 1) download update.xml from AUS for a particular release
+ 2) download the partial and full mar advertised
+ 3) check that the partial and full match the advertised size and sha1sum
+ 4) downloads the latest release, and an older release
+ 5) applies MAR to the older release, and compares the two releases.
+
+ Step 5 is repeated for both the complete and partial MAR.
+
+ Expects to have an updates.cfg file, describing all releases to try updating
+ from.
