Hi Robert,
could you please post the error message you get from ebuild's digest
verification? Maybe directly in the thread on the forums, not here on
the list. I smell a problem with arch portage vs. ~arch portage's new
SHA256 digest method on some ebuilds... also other tweaks, fixes etc
are allways very welcome!
Regards,
Tom (gimpel)
