From your point of view, how useful would a fully-implemented apr_sha2 be, compared either to using a third-party library or a standalone implementation? 2. If it does add value, is the API referenced in your bug exactly what you want, or might there be mileage in reviewing/extending it? It's not really clear to me what value an APR wrapper adds to sha2. Or indeed, md5/sha1, beyond their being widely used by existing apps. -- Nick Kew
