Hi.
Normally you want whichever upstream uses for their announcement, you
shouldn't hardcode the method and you definitely shouldn't compute when
you download.
That's because you may bump some time later after compromise and if you
compute it when bumping then you're just giving your word on a maybe
compromised one.
Just my $.02
Regards.
