> No objections but what is the benefit?

My concern is that there have been actual malware that exploited weakness in
MD5 (Flame, as mentioned in Wikipedia article on MD5). As such I think that md5
is not enough to verify a file integrity.

I am neutral on sha2.
I just think that it is easier to add it now while this task is in our scope.


> 4. The same format as we do for sha1 unless there is a good reason not to.

Ack.
I am opting for "{hash} *{filename}" format then.

Apache Ant can be used to validate it, among other options.


Thank you for your review.
