[gentoo-dev] Change md5 checksum in ebuils by sha-256, AES or others

2005-09-16 Thread Camilo Aguilar
Hello, i was reading in some pages that md5 is no longer secure anymore
to continue proving the integrity of the programs.

Is it possible to change md5 check in the ebuilds for another more
secure algorithm ?
