Comment (by bochecha):
A few explanations on the patches I just attached.
The pyrpkg patch introduces a new option in the configuration file:
lookasidefallbackhash.
This hash is to be used when the **verification** fails using the normal
lookasidehash. However, files are always uploaded with the normal
lookasidehash.
Then, the fedpkg changes just adapt to that new option, and set the
lookasidehash sha256 instead of md5, while setting the new
lookasidefallbackhash to md5.
With these 3 changes applied, fedpkg now uploads sources with the sha256
hash, but can still verify previously uploaded sources.
