Bug Description
The current release file support sha-1 and md5. We would like to switch to sha256 in apt and therefore the Release file should carry the this hash as well (the Packages files already carry that checksum).
Thanks,
Michael

The archive publisher uses the hash utilities from the Python standard library.
Python 2.5 is the first release with an SHA256 implementation. Since we're still using 2.4, we'd need a 3rd party implementation. Do you know of such an implementation?
