[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Use of sha256 as digest algorithm (Discussion #2037)

[Yash-Khatri]

Hi,

I am trying to use sha256 algo for digest for my RPM packages. currently, it is building with default sha1 and md5 digests.

Here is what I tried so far

- Upgraded the RPM to version 4.14.3. which supports the sha256 as default algo for digests.

- Override macros for the digest algorithm by adding the below lines in **$HOME/.rpmmacros file or /etc/rpm/macros** file [reference](https://www.starlab.io/blog/adding-sha256-digests-to-rpms)
```
%_source_filedigest_algorithm 8
%_binary_filedigest_algorithm 8
```
- Add the above macros in pkg.spec file as below which is being passed to rpmbuild command
```
%define _source_filedigest_algorithm 8
%define _binary_filedigest_algorithm 8
```
but none of the above solutions worked for me and after rebuilding I still see my package is building with sha1 and md5 as digest algo.

Any help is appreciated.
