Hello everyone. I'd like to propose to move from md5sums to BLAKE2b-256 and BLAKE2s-256 for 64/32 bit architectures respectively, and arch:all packages providing both. Mostly because it is faster than md5, sha1, sha2, sha3. How do I get started to benchmark this, and start providing ability for packages to build these hash sums? Regards, Dimitri.
