 The BLAKE2 family of hash functions is an improved version of the
 SHA-3 finalist BLAKE.

 BLAKE2b is optimized for 64-bit platforms and produces up to 64 bytes
 of output; BLAKE2s is optimized for 32-bit platforms and produces up
 to 32 bytes of output.

 BLAKE2bp and BLAKE2sp are parallel versions of BLAKE2b and BLAKE2s
 designed for increased performance on multicore and large-vector SIMD
 processors.

 b2sum is a command-line tool to hash files using the BLAKE2 functions,
 similar to the standard md5sum, sha1sum, etc. utilities.

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging b2sum. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from packaging the software.

This is an automatic email to change the status of b2sum from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 12 months.

If you are still interested in packaging b2sum, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 734112 ITP: b2sum -- BLAKE2 family of hash functions -- command-line tool
 owner 734112 !
 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <734112@bugs.debian.org>.  If you need guidance on how to
package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,
