Hi We from the Debian Perl Group would like to drop libdigest-sha1-perl at some point, see [1]. Most of the functionality (except sha1_transform) of Digest::SHA1 is also provided by Digest::SHA. Switching from Digest::SHA1 to Digest::SHA should be in principle as easy as substituting the use of Digest::SHA1 with Digest::SHA. Digest::SHA is in Perl core since version 5.9.3 and thus is in Debian's perl since Lenny. Changing use of Digest::SHA1 to Digest::SHA would thus reduce external dependencies by one. [1] http://deb.li/digestsha Digest::SHA1 is used in mimedefang, and should be easy to substitute. Could you change use of Digest::SHA1 and use the Digest::SHA in gen-ip-validator and mimedefang?
