["Tim Allison (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2600?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16389556#comment-16389556 ] 

Tim Allison commented on TIKA-2600:
-----------------------------------

I'm pretty sure we discussed this at some point, but I can't quickly find what we decided.  Apologies if this is a duplicate issue...

Should we stop including md5 and swap SHA1 (with file ext: .sha) for SHA512 (with file ext: .sha512)?

> To plagiarize from PDFBOX-4142:
> The release distribution policy was changes with regard to the checksums to be used:
> Old policy :
> MUST provide a MD5-file
> SHOULD provide a SHA-file [SHA-512 recommended]
> New policy :
> MUST provide a SHA- or MD5-file
> SHOULD provide a SHA-file
> SHOULD NOT provide a MD5-file
