hi,
I would be great if Sonatype could lead this request.
It seems like a similar process compared to the TLSv1.2 requirement and the
drop of http
They have the best overview in how to handle the switch to different hashes.
You can already start with #1, but until then I would be careful with #2
#2 can't be done w/o careful planning. That's clear.
Who's the right contact at Sonatype? Brian Fox?

Folks,
I have been recently (indirectly) approached by Mark Thomas for the
Tomcat committers that he wants to provide SHA-2 hashes for all uploaded
Tomcat artifacts in Central. Since Nexus 2.14.18 supports this properly
for validation, I have picked up MRESOLVER-56 and asked for testing.
I'd like also to discuss two proposals for the Maven community:
1. Introduce SHA-2 support in Maven Resolver 1.4.3 which will go into
Maven 3.7.0
2. Deprecate MD5 and SHA-1 with that release and make them obsolete with
Maven 4.0 and Maven Resolver 2.0 which will include package change also.
Those proposals have the following greater implications:
1.
* Certain repo managers might reject hashes, they don't know. As did
Nexus on repository.a.o.
* This will incur two more requests with each upload and download. In
the latter, it will fail with 404 because most repo managers won't have
SHA-2 hashes. So fails Central for now. (will be solved with 2.)
2.
* All repo managers will need to
** rehash all current content to provide SHA-2 hashes
** Require SHA-2 hashes to be uploaded
** Reject MD5 and SHA-1 hashes
* Old tools will fail because MD5 and SHA-1 hashes are gone:
** Uploads will be rejected
** Strict download validation will fail
Please comment. I will also provide a draft PR soon.
I can cast two formal votes if required.
Michael
