I asked in #fedora-admin and they said that
http://people.redhat.com/mitr/sha256-rpm/rpm-4.6.0-4.0.mitr.1.el5.src.rpm
was used, and that python-hashlib from epel-testing is needed as well. I
was also told that the above rpm replaces the host's rpm, and that there
is no downgrade possible.
The new RPM never was the a real problem -- the necessary steps were
well known (I should have made that more clear in my mail, as that could
have avoided lot of others mails in this thread; sorry). Xavier is
working on it and he has access to the two x86 builders now)
The PPC build is the problem and will likely stay a problem for a few
days (¹), as I couldn't reach dwmw2 yet.
