One similar notes as the Crypt_Blowfish discussion, Ants (or anyone else) would you like to help with http://pear.php.net/package/Crypt_HMAC ? It has been stalled for some time (only one release), and well only has one bug, but still I think Derick wouldn't mind someone taking over the package or helping him with it. Or what Derick ? :) The code is very small, not that it needs to be big but there might be possibility to add more then sha1 and md5 to this (or what ? I'm not the best judge of that) Anyway don't want to see packages unmaintained, rather find some others to bring new life to those package if possible :)

I'd be glad to help if help is needed. But looking at Crypt_HMAC I can't see what's wrong with http://pear.php.net/package/Message (besides the too generic name)? It has oodles of hash functions with mhash and doesn't seem to have any bugs. Fallback functions for users without mhash could be of use, though I can't imagine there would be many users for those. --------- Ants
