    Use sha256 for hashes in the release process · ce04ca31
    Andreas Rammhold authored
    I just came across the GDB 10.1 release notes and saw that md5 is still
    being used in those. I thought it would be a good idea to instead have a
    more modern, secure and wildly available hash function such as SHA256 as
    part of the release process.
    
    The changes have been done rather mechnically via sed but executing the
    `src-release.sh -b gdb` did work so I am confident about the result.
    
    While this does not directly address the release mails, I was wasn't
    able to find the template/script used for those, this is probably still
    an improvement.
    
    ChangeLog:
    	* src-release.sh: Use sha256sum instead of md5sum.
    
    binutils/ChangeLog:
    	* README-how-to-make-a-release: Use sha256sum instead of md5sum.
