             Bug ID: 7596
            Summary: Update distribution to satisfy new Apache policies,
                     including replacing SHA-1 checksums with SHA-256 or
                     SHA-512

           Severity: normal
           Priority: P2
          Component: Building & Packaging

See https://www.apache.org/dev/release-distribution#sigs-and-sums

We need to make sure that we confirm to the current release distribution
policies before our next release.


Can we have some clarity on 'intentions' in this regard?

Working on our modified sa-update program, and would like to know what version is road mapped for SHA256, and because of the need to support both legacy and new versions, want to build in support for both methods, and want to confirm that the extension will be .sha256 vs .sha1 file naming conventions.

Might want to suggest that a 'bridge' version might be considered, which can support .sha1 files as a fallback, during transition, with a version where .sha1 will no longer be supported.

Giving lead time will assist developers and custom 'channel' suppliers.
