Hello,

It's the time of the year where I ask you (again!) for your help to better archive GNU source code in the Software Heritage archive.

Would it be possible to change the format of the GNU file listing [1] to also include SHA256 checksums?

[1]: https://ftp.gnu.org/tree.json.gz

Doing so would (1) help us (Software Heritage) avoid re-downloading files (hence also reducing load on your end) and (2) help your users detecting corruption of download files.

Cheers,
