I screwed up the isomd5sum checksums in the 1.2.4 release while

bug report (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2277398).
Thanks Billings!
The bad version made it into Fedora 40 and Rawhide.
With the bad version it will implant a checksum that is too short by 3
characters, but checking it will pass if you use 1.2.4-1 -- but not if
you use any of the previous versions. You can check for the bad checksum
by running checkisomd5sum --verbose and look for ';FR' at the end of the
reported checksum.
:(
Spot checking the Fedora 40 netinst and workstation isos I don't see the
bad checksums so it looks like the build system was using a previous
version of implantisomd5 for the released isos.
Thats good.
Currently in rawhide the isos have the bad checksums, so the
builders
will need to be updated to isomd5sum-1.2.4-2 to fix this.
Well, livemedia creation is done in a chroot in koji, so it should pick
that up in tomorrow's rawhide automatically. I don't think anything
needs manually updating, but if I am missing something let me know.
