Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
In the title I mean SRU not SRA.
For the next 3 years Ubuntu 10.04 LTS will only be able to support the
SHA1 cipher. Thats 3 long years of using a broken and useless cipher.
What are the options for those who require an LTS, there are no options.
Upgrading to a non-LTS release defeats the purpose of using an LTS. I
am very aware that hell would freeze over before this SRU request would
be accepted. It's too bad that the SHA1 patch came too late for 10.04.
I don't how easy an attack against SHA1 would be, would it be acceptable
to wait 3 years if attacks against SHA1 are still hard enough as to not
worry about it?
If SHA1 attacks are trivial, then would Ubuntu please consider an SRU.

SRU request. Evolution on 10.04 LTS only supports SHA1 for the next 3 years.
SHA2 would be nice.
