Yes it does and it does so since at least 0.7.7 - or in other words since the 23. Oct 2007 (The acquire method uses always the strongest hash available). > In the documentation (man-page) no prefix of the hash-algorithm is mentioned > and no option to select the wanted hash > algorithm can be found. I don't know what you mean with prefix here, but this MD5Sum: or similar is intended to indicate which hashmethod is used for the hash. > Therefore reformatting the jigdo-data for a given debian package is not > possible anymore. > I.E. > <MD5SUM>=<PATH> > beMtkDN2NXZ32JIORntsoQ=http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/reportbug/reportbug_3.48_all.deb > > Workaround: Remove SHA256: and SHA1: lines from Packages-Files in > /var/lib/apt/lists with sed. Attached is a patch which can be used to force the usage of a specific hashmethod. apt-get will use this in --print-uris commands to force md5sum if the user hasn't forced another method already. Is that what you need/request? Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen, David Kalnischkies
