So just to make sure I understand what you're after... You want to add |

some checksum to the cache file to make sure that all its other vars |
11 |
(line 1-17) are still the same even though there are timestamp issues? |

Or is that checksum for the ebuild file (which is in the Manifest file |

in the ebuild dir)? |
