5.6.24. Checksums-Sha1 and Checksums-Sha256

These multiline fields contain a list of files with a checksum and size for each one. Both Checksums-Sha1 and Checksums-Sha256 have the same syntax and differ only in the checksum algorithm used: SHA-1 for Checksums-Sha1 and SHA-256 for Checksums-Sha256.

Checksums-Sha1 and Checksums-Sha256 are multiline fields. The first line of the field value (the part on the same line as Checksums-Sha1: or Checksums-Sha256:) is always empty. The content of the field is expressed as continuation lines, one line per file. Each line consists of the checksum, a space, the file size, a space, and the file name. For example (from a .changes file):

In the .dsc file, these fields list all files that make up the source package. In the .changes file, these fields list all files being uploaded. The list of files in these fields must match the list of files in the Files field.
