Here are the SHA-1 and SHA-256 checksums.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx groff-1.23.0.rc3.tar.gz

The SHA-256 checksum is encoded in Base64 instead of the hexadecimal
form that most checksum tools default to. The mechanism follows.
sha256sum < groff-1.23.0.rc3.tar.gz | cut -f1 -d\ | xxd -r -p | base64
sha256sum < groff-1.23.0.tar.gz | cut -f1 -d\ | xxd -r -p | base64
[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig
file and the corresponding archive. Then, verify the archive.
gpg --verify groff-1.23.0.rc3.tar.gz{.sig,}
gpg --verify groff-1.23.0.tar.gz{.sig,}
If that command fails because you don't have the required public
key, you can import it.
