Historically, the MD5 checksums in our LFS files serve as a protection
against broken downloads, or accidentally corrupted source files.
While the sources are nowadays downloaded via HTTPS, it make sense to
beef up integrity protection for them, since transparently intercepting
TLS is believed to be feasible for more powerful actors, and the state
of the public PKI ecosystem is clearly not helping.
Therefore, this patch switches from MD5 to BLAKE2, updating all LFS
files as well as make.sh to deal with this checksum algorithm. BLAKE2 is
notably faster (and more secure) than SHA2, so the performance penalty
introduced by this patch is negligible, if noticeable at all.
In preparation of this patch, the toolchain files currently used have
been supplied with BLAKE2 checksums as well on
https://source.ipfire.org/.

- This whois client is being actively maintained. This version 5.5.10 was released on
June 6th 2021 and regular updates have been ocurring several times per year.
- This client has all of its default whois servers compiled into it. These can be seen
by reading the source files in the tarball.
- Therefore the whois.conf file is available for any additional servers that are decided
to be required but as provided is empty.
- Installed on a vm testbed and worked to identify the details of ip addresses. Selecting
an IP in the WUI logs screen also gets the ip information provided so it is working
well with the WUI.
