Bug#625989: librdf-query-perl: use Digest::SHA instead of Digest::SHA1 in lib/RDF/Query/Functions/Jena.pm

[Salvatore Bonaccorso]

Version: 2.905-1

Hi

We would like to drop libdigest-sha1-perl at some point, see [1]. Most
of the functionality (except sha1_transform) of Digest::SHA1 is also
provided by Digest::SHA.  Switching from Digest::SHA1 to Digest::SHA
should be in principle as easy as substituting the use of Digest::SHA1
with Digest::SHA.

Digest::SHA is in Perl core since version 5.9.3 and thus is in
Debian's perl since Lenny.

Changing use of Digest::SHA1 to Digest::SHA would thus reduce external
dependencies by one.

 [1] http://deb.li/digestsha

The module lib/RDF/Query/Functions/Jena.pm uses Digest::SHA1, but from
there only sha1_hex, which is same available by Digest::SHA. The tests
too use in t/filters.t Digest::SHA1 so far.

Changing this would allow to prepare the removal of
libdigest-sha1-perl.

Bests,
Salvatore
