You wouldn't have to change anything at all except for the
INTEGRITY_CHECK array in makepkg.conf. After the patch that Dan
mentioned has been pushed, current users won't have problems (no
matter what combination of checksums are present in a PKGBUILD), so
the usage of sha256sums would gradually occur as packages are updated
naturally. That's why I specifically said it would be best to make the
change after pacman 3.0 has been released. There's no reason you'd
have to go through the repos and make a sweeping update.
