Re: Let's avoid using md5 as checksum

As you know, MD5 has serious flaws (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5) So recently I don't use it and even remove it when I found it in the checksum part of portfile. I thought dropping use of md5 in portfile would be nice.

Any thought?

I don't think these flaws are strong enough to discourage use of MD5 as a hashsum for file verification yet. Rainer
