The .md5sum file will be created if/when you eventually upload the content to the GPP.  However until then this a good thing to do aswell.

The global pool is in www.bitshrine.org/gpp, but hte provate pool is in Freescale (your BSP came from them), which can't be seen by your machine since you're outside Freescale's network.  It would be nice if Freescale would disable the Provate Package Pool on .iso BSPs they release to remove this problem.

On later BSPs the PPP references are scrubbed.  These messages can be ignored, but if they're nuisance, edit .ltibrc and delete the entry for the ppp.
