</build>You should supply your own RepositoryMap.xml file, if you don't supply one a default one (which will most likely be out of date) will be used instead. Your RepositoryMap.xml must match the schema available at Here.
How do I get the SHA1/MD5 hashes for the binaries I ant to download?
The people providing the binaries should be publishing MD5/SHA1 hashes as well so that you can check that the file you have downloaded is not corrupt. It seems that recently this does not seem to be happening as a matter of course. If you can't find a published SHA1/MD5 hash you can always download the file yourself, check that it is not corrupt and then generate the hash using the following commands:
On a *nix system it's pretty easy. perform the following command:
openssl md5 <filename>
openssl sha1 <filename>
On windows you can do the following (according to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/889768):
FCIV -sha1 <filename>
FCIV -md5 <filename>
Below is an example RepositoryMap.xml that I will endeavour to keep up to date so that you can just copy/paste the contents into your own file.
