Ah, ok. I must have read it incorrectly, but in the case of makepkg I personally prefer the *sum utilities. It is a simply revert anyways, and I will eventually get around to doing some major changes to makepkg (I have a few ideas, but nothing set in stone).

Hi,
I have been working on an Arch fork for the past several months, and thus have been following Arch developments closely. I noticed this commit ( http://projects.archlinux.org/gitweb.cgi?p=pacman.git;a=commit;h=b8a66d68593... ), where OpenSSL replaces the usage of md5sum and sha1sum utilities for Pacman. While I like the idea of using libraries instead of external binaries, I feel that linking to OpenSSL complicates a few things.
I am confused, the patch you showed is for makepkg, which is a bash script. The usage of md5sum and sha1sum binaries was replaced by the usage of openssl binary. We don't use openssl lib.
For pacman, we also need md5 hashing functionality. For that we imported a md5.c file from the xyssl project.
