'murmur-hash' takes the code from a repository SMHasher, but I'm not
interested in packaging that. That is OK?
I looked at the Debian package [0]. It uses the bundled copy or
murmur-hash. Since there doesn't really seem to be an independent
upstream distribution of murmur, I think it's fine to do the same.
What do others think?
I agree. Just leave a comment explaining the situation so we can
revisit it later if the need arises.
I'm not convinced, I'm afraid. According to the SMHasher README [0]:
>This is the home for the MurmurHash
<https://github.com/aappleby/smhasher/tree/master/src> family of hash
functions along with the SMHasher
<https://github.com/aappleby/smhasher/tree/master/src> test suite used
to verify them.
So that would count that as an independent upstream distribution of
murmurhash, right?
Thanks,
