Locally I am using this change and it fixes the problem.

I really hope this fix (or any fix for the minor bug) can be merged, because I very much want to use the only-copy-when-necessary feature. It's a great feature. Thank you for thinking of it in the design of your library.

@ktbyers thank you for your time and your FOSS service! What's the best way for me to watch the release rollout and know which release-version (for requirements.txt) will contain this fix?

[ktbyers]

Yeah, I don't know when I will do the next release.

I assume you can just git clone the develop branch or to the specific commit containing that fix?

Ah yes. Branch name or commit will work. Thanks a bunch!

In case anyone else lands on this webpage and wants to pip install -r a version that has this linux md5 fix, this is exactly the line that I ended up with in requirements.txt:

netmiko @ git+https://github.com/ktbyers/netmiko@eefa4c4cc3 # can use release semver after next release
