Pkgsrc changes:
- The package supports installation to DESTDIR
- A C compiler is necessary.
Changes since version 5.43:
===========================
5.44 Sat Oct 14 00:42:44 MST 2006
- removed SIGNATURE file from distribution
-- spurious errors from CPANPLUS can break build
- eliminated ppport.h header file
-- significantly reduces size of distribution
- modified C functions in src/hmac.c to use ANSI prototypes
-- thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi for patch
This resolves PR pkg/34407 by Martin Wilke.
Pkgsrc changes:
- took maintainership
Changes since version 5.41:
===========================
5.43 Sat Aug 5 02:36:18 MST 2006
- undid Perl Best Practice of favoring 3-argument "open"
-- 3-arg version uses different semantics for "-"
causing bugs in addfile and shasum
- modified underlying C functions to use ANSI prototypes
-- requested by Steve Hay (ref. Smoke [5.9.4] 28630)
-- K&R style was causing numerous warnings from
Borland compiler
5.42 Mon Jul 24 04:04:40 MST 2006
- minor code changes suggested by Perl::Critic
-- e.g. no bareword filehandles, no 2-argument open's
- updated public key (ref. B538C51C)
-- previous one (0AF563FE) expired July 2, 2006
- added documentation to warn that Base64 digests are NOT padded
-- padding must be done by user if interoperability
with other software is required
Pkgsrc changes:
- none
Relevant changes since version 5.31:
====================================
- modified addfile to accept indirect filehandles
-- ref. rt.cpan.org #19627 and #19641
- modified shasum to warn rather than die for file errors
-- to follow conventions of GNU sha1sum/md5sum
- added new capabilities to the "addfile" method
-- now able to accept file names as well as handles
-- includes mode for portable digest calculation
-- thanks to Adam Kennedy for emails and ideas
ref. File::LocalizeNewlines
- used expanded addfile interface to simplify shasum (sumfile)
-- regex a tad less general than 5.37, but handles all
known newline variants in UNIX/Windows/MacOS
- enhanced WARNING messages from shasum checkfile processing
-- to mimic behavior of md5sum
- improved error handling of checksum files in shasum
-- to better mimic the behavior of md5sum
- refined line-break regex in shasum (ref. sub sumfile)
-- catches multiple CR's preceding LF
thanks to Gisle Aas for suggested patch
- changed loop vars to signed int's in shadump (ref. src/sha.c)
-- to prevent type mismatch warnings
- added "portable" option to shasum
-- to make digests match across Windows/Unix/MacOS
- enabled bundling of shasum command line options
-- to mimic behavior of md5sum
- removed \r's from text files in t/nist directory
-- resolves SIGNATURE clashes (rt.cpan.org #18983)
- changed suffix on SHA64_MAX (src/sha.h) to ULL
-- eliminates gcc warnings (rt.cpan.org #18988)
- specified minimum Perl version for module and Makefile.PL
-- closes rt.cpan.org #18984
- made minor code changes to silence compiler warnings
-- resulting from signed/unsigned integer mixing
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
5.31 Mon Sep 5 00:52:42 MST 2005
- added standard tests for pod and pod-coverage checking
- inserted subtest to check for failure when using
unrecognized SHA algorithm
5.30 Sat Aug 20 16:46:08 MST 2005
- updated docs with recent NIST statement on SHA-1
-- advises use of larger and stronger hash functions
(i.e. SHA-224/256/384/512) for new developments
5.29 Sun Aug 14 04:48:34 MST 2005
- added explicit casts in "shaload" routine (ref. "ldvals")
-- thanks to E. Allen Smith for pointing out SGI compiler
warnings on IPxx-irix platforms
- updated docs with cautionary note about SHA-1
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.

Change log:
5.28 Wed Nov 10 15:33:20 MST 2004
- provided more flexible formatting of SHA state files
-- entries may now contain embedded whitespace
for improved readability
- minor code cleanups
Collection.
The Perl 5 module Digest::SHA is a complete implementation of the
NIST Secure Hash Standard. It gives Perl programmers a convenient
way to calculate SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512
message digests. The module can handle all types of input, including
partial-byte data.
