Hi We from the Debian Perl Group would like to drop libdigest-sha1-perl at some point, see [1]. Most of the functionality (except sha1_transform) of Digest::SHA1 is also provided by Digest::SHA. Switching from Digest::SHA1 to Digest::SHA should be in principle as easy as substituting the use of Digest::SHA1 with Digest::SHA. Digest::SHA is in Perl core since version 5.9.3 and thus is in Debian's perl since Lenny. Changing use of Digest::SHA1 to Digest::SHA would thus reduce external dependencies by one. [1] http://deb.li/digestsha libnet-dns-sec-perl has in upstream Changes: FEAT: Added support for SHA256 to the DS RR. Assigned the expected digest type2 for SHA256 type hashes. Note that this makes the Net::DNS::SEC depend on Digest::SHA instead of Digest::SHA1. The default digest type is still set to 1. NB. The code makes assumptions about the IANA assignment of the digest type. The assignment may change. Do not use SHA256 in production zones!! Makefile.PL and META.yml still have Digest::SHA1 in the depends, but nowhere in the code it is used anymore. Could you thus drop the (Build-)Depends and patch META.yml and Makefile.PL? This is already forwarded too upstream [2].
