In line 555 and 690 in crypto.c, there are the following FIXME's:
/* ### FIXME: This should be a SHA-256. */ SVN_ERR(svn_checksum(&stuff_sum, svn_checksum_sha1, stuff_vector, stuff_len, scratch_pool)); The problem appears to be that there is no sha-256 implementation in the apr_util crypto library, the one sha-256 algorithm there is, resides in /apr/random/unix/sha2.c and looks like an internal implementation which is not meant for public consumption. Should there be a new label, which ensures that issues that are dependent on outside agents are checked periodically to see if they now can be resolved? Say: WAITING: <last date checked, reason> so in this case, the comment would be: /* ### WAITING 2013-Jan: Convert to sha-256 once apr_util supplies this. */
