------------------------------------

bq. Hm, after rereading original issue: "the created SHA512 which is used for 
the distribution area" – is it maybe us misinterpreting this?

+1

there are 2 separate needs that are constantly conflated.

I'll show 1 concrete example = the binary distribution of Maven 3.8.4 
apache-maven-3.8.4-bin.zip :
- there is the sha512 file from Apache distribution area ("Apache distribution 
area" is ASF specific, obviously): 
https://archive.apache.org/dist/maven/maven-3/3.8.4/binaries/
- there is (eventually) the sha512 from Maven Central repository: 
https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/apache-maven/3.8.4/ : 
you'll see we even did not publish sha512 here (because Maven core does not use 
the shared ASF parent POM)

let's look at maven wagon wagon-3.5.1-source-release.zip, that uses (like most 
of our Maven releases) the parent POM:
- Apache distribution area ("Apache distribution area" is ASF specific, 
obviously): https://archive.apache.org/dist/maven/wagon/
- Maven Central repository: 
https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/wagon/wagon/3.5.1/

Apache distribution area is free form of Apache
Maven Central repository area has a Maven2 repository format

> Currently the created SHA512 which is used for the distribution area contains 
> only the checksum but not the filename which results in bad output if the 
> checksums being checked via command line tool:
> {code}
> $ shasum -c apache-maven-3.2.5-bin.tar.gz.sha512
> $ shasum: apache-maven-3.2.5-bin.tar.gz.sha512: no properly formatted SHA 
> checksum lines found
> {code}
> The checksum should be enhanced to support that correctly.
