I asked this question a while ago about makepkg now I'm asking about pacman... why do we need support for multiple checksum types? What's wrong with md5?
Frugalware switched to using sha1sums, so that is a big reason. If you can find a good reason to pull support for it, let us know, but as of right now I don't see a reason to remove it, even if we don't use it. Any other distribution using pacman may want to use it, so the option is there.

My problem is more with the fact that we have 5 functions and 1 field in pmpkg_t for each checksum and we have to do if checksum = x then x_foo(); else if checksum = y then y_foo(); else if checksum = z then z_foo(); fi every time we want to do something with a checksum. For now I'll just treat it the same as makepkg... cause we can :D Andrew
