How to get the MD5Sum of a DEB file

My question is how do I get the MD5Sum of a DEB file? I'm making a cydia repo, and my Packages file needs this. I know how to find an MD5Sum, I just don't know what to convert to MD5.

Solution

    md5sum package.deb

    ... Assuming this is the file containing your package.

    Seriously, though, the toolchain already knows how to calculate this. Just use the existing Debian tools to set up your repo.
