1 If you have an ebuild with a non-standard pkg_nofetch, please ensure
2 that you use $SRC_URI instead of $A!

4 This is because if you have FEATURES=mirror or FEATURES=cvs, attempts to
5 download all of the source files for digesting or verification will hit
6 pkg_nofetch and $A is only the subset of $SRC_URI, causing misleading
7 messages to be displayed about what needs to be downloaded still.

9 Plasmaroo: could you perhaps change this in the devmanual?

11 I'll be looking through the tree to fix any existing occurrences of this.
