Hi all,

This is work in progress, but I did some basic tests and seems to work. Since we have b2sums support in makepkg, I was wondering if we could also add b3sums (https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3). It's been finalised recently and has a working package in [community] repo. It's not in coreutils and probably can't easily handle dependencies for pacman at the moment but the b3sums algo is solid and maybe worth adding if people want to use it in the future.

Thanks - I'd prefer this to wait until b3sum is added to coreutils. At this stage BLAKE3 usage is basically non-existent in terms of being provided as a software checksum, and I do not want to add a further dependency to makepkg. Allan
