What's with the new sources format?
The old format, I could do `md5sum -c sources`
Why not make the new format with SHA512 follow the same pattern, so I could do: `shasum
-c sources` or `sha512sum -c sources`?
Is there any standard command-line tool to parse this new format, or do I just gotta
grep/awk/bash my way through it?
As far as I can see it's using the BSD tagged format,
which the coreutils sha512sum command can parse.
I.E. the following format is supported since v8.20 (2012-10-23)
SHA512 (filename) = ...
