[gentoo-portage-dev] [GLEP59v2 5/5] GLEP59: Change live Manifest2 hashes to SHA256, SHA512, WHIRLPOOL

[Robin H. Johnson]

From: "Robin H. Johnson" <robbat2@g.o>

Change Manifest2 hashes to a more secure set as approved in GLEP59.
SHA512 and WHIRLPOOL are added, SHA1 and RMD160 are dropped.

SHA256 is now the lowest security hash, and must remain in Manifest
files for at least 1 year, otherwise older Portage installs will
complain that they do not support any of the hashes in the Manifest
files.

Future events:
After 2012/10/01:
- Change MANIFEST2_REQUIRED_HASH to WHIRLPOOL.
- Remove SHA256 from MANIFEST2_HASH_FUNCTIONS.
After SHA-3 is approved:
- Add new hashes to MANIFEST2_HASH_FUNCTIONS.
