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/.

- v2 patch version has required libraries not commented
- v2 patch version has lua.pc file commented out in the rootfile
pkgconfig file is only required for build or development and not
for normal running of IPFire
- v2 patch version has make linux changed to make all
INSTALL_TOP is required - default is /usr/local
INSTALL_DATA is required - default results in an empty rootfile
TO_LIB is required - default results in only lua.a in rootfile
- v2 patch version includes PAK_VER updates for dnsdist and haproxy due to
sobump. These packages showed up as dependencies to the old lua library
ncat was also linked but already had a PAK_VER change due to a package
upgrade and so no longer showed up in the find-dependencies scan
- Update from 5.3.5 to 5.4.3
- Autotoolize patch not update since 5.3 series
Based on input from Michael Tremer implemented build approach
from BLFS. This approach also used by Arch Linux. Updated lfs in
line with approach. Added pkgconfig file lua.pc as used in BLFS.
- Update of shared_library patch obtained from BLFS
- Update of rootfile
- Removal of old lua-5.3.5 patches
