general-concepts/mirrors: improve bad upstream distfile rename text |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
If an upstream updates a distfile in a way that requires an ebuild |
| 11 |
revision bump, remind readers to remove the ebuilds associated with |
| 12 |
the old distfile. This is necessary because the Manifest entry for the |
| 13 |
old tarball has its checksum changed due to upstream and cause |
| 14 |
checksum mismatches during merges. |
| 15 |

Closes: https://github.com/gentoo/devmanual.gentoo.org/pull/112 |
