Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Digest-SHA to 5.80:

    • Obtained noticeable speed-up on Intel/gcc by setting -O1 and -fomit-frame-pointer (SHA-1 about 63% faster, SHA-2 improves 11-20%)

  • Note that my packages use the standard optimization flags for each distribution, so this update is actually no different to the previous version as far as the packages are concerned
