Sincerely,

Hello, I'm working on a little project to perform cryptographically-sound
timestamping on Wikipedia snapshots. I'm using the opentimestamps.org
service, which by default uses the SHA-256 hash. In order to get the
SHA-256 for the timestamp, I need to download each file and compute the
hash.
Currently the xml data dumps provide only the MD5 and SHA-1 hashes. Both of
these hash functions are obsolete because they are cryptographically
broken. I'm wondering: would the maintainers of this service be willing to
add SHA-256 digests to the dumpstatus and checksum files going forward?
SHA-256 is still cryptographically sound and would allow me to verify that
I have the correct hash for timestamping.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Arthur
I was reading about incremental xml dumps on this page: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/incr/
While I understand this service is experimental and may stop working at a given time, I was curious about how frequent the incremental dumps are when the system is working properly. Also, how common is it for the incremental dumps to stop working?
