11 This is probably the best choice so far. A few ideas:
12
13 1) Instead or r1, use ${PR}, so that updates to this ebuild don't make
14 a mess.
15
16 2) Perhaps even explain the situation to the user: If they download the
17 file, name it ${SRC_URI} and still see md5sum failures, it will mean
18 that they have stumbled across a different revision. This should
19 be reported, or they should try another -rX of the jdk docs.

21 Hurrah for inane release policies.
