------------------------+--------------------
 The default checksum types used by MacPorts in portfiles are sha256,
 rmd160, and size. rmd160 is also used for each archive on the packages
 server.

 OpenSSL 3 has designated ripemd160 (rmd160) as a legacy algorithm.

 https://www.openssl.org/docs/man3.0/man7/EVP_MD-RIPEMD160.html

 I guess that means we should phase out the use of rmd160 in MacPorts,
 replacing it with something more modern.
