Bug#681346: ITP: libdigest-sha1-perl -- Perl interface to the SHA-1 algorithm

Package: wnpp

Owner: Dmitry E. Oboukhov un...@debian.org

 Package name: libdigest-sha1-perl

 Description : Perl interface to the SHA-1 algorithm

 The Digest::SHA1 module allows you to use the NIST SHA-1 message digest
 algorithm from within Perl programs. The algorithm takes as input a message
 of arbitrary length and produces as output a 160-bit fingerprint or
 message digest of the input.
 .
 The Digest::SHA1 module provide a procedural interface for simple use, as
 well as an object oriented interface that can handle messages of arbitrary
 length and which can read files directly.

Out of curiosity, how does this compare to Digest::SHA
(libdigest-sha-perl), which is already in the archive, and supports SHA1
and a couple of others too?

Digest::SHA appears to have a very similar interface too.

Hi,

The package has been in the archive before, but was removed (see
#594273).  As I understand it, Digest::SHA1 should be redundant, but I
might have overlooked something.

Yes, please don't introduce again libdigest-sha1-perl. The Debian Perl
Group did quite an amount of work on removing it from the archive[1].

 [1]: http://deb.li/digestsha

Instead the modules depending on Digest::SHA1 should be patched
(also upstream) to use Digest::SHA. See the wiki-Page for templates to
send to upstream to explain why.

Regards,
Salvatore

I try to package one big project that uses some such modules, so I
thought to package all them before...
