Hi Sergio 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://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianPerlGroup/OpenTasks/Transitions/DigestSHA1ToDigestSHA Now the tool `smbldap-passwd' in smbldap-tools uses Digest::SHA1 and from there only 'sha1'. In preparation to the above, would it be possible to patch smbldap-passwd to use Digest::SHA and then drop the Depends on libdigest-sha1-perl?
