In the early days of gbde, it linked against libmd. Shortly after conception, phk replaced ARC4 with SHA-512, but libmd did not have SHA2 at the time thus he built a copy of sha2.c for gbde.Fast forward 3 years, cperciva adds SHA2 to libmd -- this makes gbde'sbuild of sha2.c redundant, but it's (understandably) overlooked. Let's simplify the gbde build now and just assume that libmd includes the most optimal implementation.
Slight correction: I added *sha256* to libmd in 2005 (FreeBSD 6.0); markm added sha512 to libmd in 2011 (FreeBSD 9.0). -- Colin Percival FreeBSD Deputy Release Engineer & EC2 platform maintainer Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
