It's only 'worse' than before if you assume that all your users read the |
| 16 |
documentation, otherwise they end up futzing around with their distfiles |
| 17 |
trying to figure out why the checksum is incorrect. This way the ebuild |
| 18 |
will die right off and the information is presented at the same time. |
| 19 |
They can go get the ebuild and rename it ( hell you can even provide |
| 20 |
them with the wget command to do so ). As such, glad this is resolved |
| 21 |
with at least some agreement on all sides :) |
