[Scons-users] Feature Request: Add Support for detecting build changes via sha256

[Bill Deegan]

Ryan,

Curious why SCons would be run in an SELinux environment and what changes
you'd expect to need to make it run as such?
(Are you planning to run SCons with elevated privileges (as root for
example)?)

I can't see any reason why sha256 couldn't be used instead of MD5.
However such change would need to be compatible with existing md5 based
sconsigns so it might be a bit more complicated that just changing the hash
used.

Feel free to make a pull request via github and we can review and help
guide the patches into something the project could merge.

Thanks,
Bill
SCons Project Co-Manager
