With an API break, the parser could scan through all fields and store a list of available hashes on each file. Similar to how pkgRecords::Parser provides access to each available hash. Subtle problems like this can be avoided. > The other issue is that > technically at this form it breaks API as there is the rename MD5Hash > -> Hash. We could leave the misleading name I guess. Keeping the name is not an option. The existing field contains “HASH”, where as the proposed patch will use it for “TYPE:HASH”. An API break may be unavoidable to /neatly/ resolve this. Perhaps the additional type–hash pairs could be stored in an auxillery structure, to avoid an immediate break. Existing code can still use the MD5Hash field unchanged. Other than these issues, it looks ok to me and works, obviously. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1098738 Title: apt-get source only checks md5 hashes in Sources files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1098738/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
