[PATCH v2 05/24] repository: require a build flag to use SHA-256

From
brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net>
Date
Feb 22, 2020, 20:17 UTC
Message-ID
<20200222201749.937983-6-sandals@crustytoothpaste.net>
In-Reply-To
<20200222201749.937983-1-sandals@crustytoothpaste.net>

At this point, SHA-256 support is experimental and some behavior may change. To avoid surprising unsuspecting users, require a build flag, ENABLE_SHA256, to allow use of a non-SHA-1 algorithm. Enable this flag by default when the DEVELOPER make flag is set so that contributors can test this case adequately.
