You wouldn't have to change anything at all except for the INTEGRITY_CHECK array in makepkg.conf. After the patch that Dan mentioned has been pushed, current users won't have problems (no matter what combination of checksums are present in a PKGBUILD), so the usage of sha256sums would gradually occur as packages are updated naturally. That's why I specifically said it would be best to make the change after pacman 3.0 has been released. There's no reason you'd have to go through the repos and make a sweeping update. -- Aaron "ElasticDog" Schaefer
