[gentoo-dev] Overriding/disabling MD5 checksums

[Dan Armak]

Hi all,

My question got lost in the howto thread, so I'm reposting here.

How can I override checksum checking/generation in an ebuild? Some things 
e.g. the howto ebuilds need this, because they're auto-updated 5 days a week 
and we obviously can't keep checksum lists for all versions. Therefore the 
ebuild should only check that the archive extracts with no errors.
