Please see previous discussion. Yes, I have my regexps, too, but there
are variations, and there were even false positives.. One of them is
in this email thread.

Greg suggests to simply ignore context and look for SHA1 sum; that
does not work, either.

So what I'm asking is for single, easy to parse format. I don't quite
care what it is, but

Upstream: (SHA)

would be best.

Best regards,
