SHA 256 for Ubuntu Bionic 8.0

#1 Post by Brant »

Looking at the home page today I noticed that the Ubuntu Bionic checksums do not include a SHA 256. Will those be coming along soon?

Thanks

Why do they need this?
What would this provide?
Never had this.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected :shock:

I presume that by "Ubuntu Bionic 8.0" you mean either BionicPup64 8.0 CE or BionicPup32. In any case, each of these distros has a thread in the Advanced Topics->Puppy Projects section of the forum. Post there and straightforwardly ask if the developer would consider posting SHA256 checksums.

When I saw Xenial Pup 7.5 offering a SHA 256 checksum I assumed this was the new standard.
If it isn't, I'll go with the MD5 checksum.

Thank you.

SHA256s would be nice, so by all means give the developer a nudge!
