πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

okay so bestie, welcome to Alien::Build::Plugin::Digest πŸ’– β€” this is the page about fetching Alien::Digest plugins. It lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's here to help you get your plugin-fetching era started. slay. ✨

🌈 VERSION 🌈

version 2.88

that's the vibe check, and it passed. πŸ’…

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's what it looks like in the wild, copy it exactly bestie:

use alienfile;
share {
  start_url 'http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-3.75.tar.gz';
  plugin 'Digest' => [ SHA256 => '2bc876304905aee78abf0f7163ba55a2efcec803034f75c75d1b94650c36aba7';
  plugin 'Download';
};

(yes, we're keeping it exactly how it is. no notes. 🫢)

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

so basically, the Digest plugins are the ones who check the cryptographic signatures of files you've downloaded. no cap β€” they're doing a little security shift. πŸ›‘οΈ

and typically? you're probably gonna want to use SHA256 by way of the Digest Negotiator plugin. that's the move, fr fr.

  • Alien::Build::Plugin::Digest::Negotiate β€” this one negotiates which plugin is the most appropriate one for calculating your digest. it's giving group-chat mediator energy, honestly. 🀝
  • Alien::Build::Plugin::Digest::SHA β€” this one uses the XS based Digest::SHA for computing SHA digests. and guess what? this is the default, because Digest::SHA comes bundled with recent versions of Perl. iconic. πŸ‘‘
