Bug#1012828: Please enable busybox sha3sum (SHA3/SHA-3/Keccak)
Package: busybox
Version: 1:1.30.1-6+b3
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/busybox
Is there any reason NOT to enable busybox sha3sums?
(I don't care busybox-udeb or busybox-static.)
https://sources.debian.org/src/busybox/1%3A1.35.0-1/debian/config/pkg/deb/#L280
-# CONFIG_SHA3SUM is not set
+CONFIG_SHA3SUM=y
Per this handy reference table, everyone should be on SHA-3 by now:
https://valerieaurora.org/hash.html
I'd like to switch from b2sum to sha3sum, but
1) Debian only ships coreutils 8.32, and even
latest coreutils (9.1) lacks "cksum -a sha3"; and
2) Debian's busybox is built without "busybox sha3sum".
3) Debian's python3 understands SHA-3 (hashlib.sha3_512), but
lacks a turnkey equivalent of
"sha3sum --check SHA3SUMS" and
"sha3sum --tag -- *.changes >SHA3SUMS".
