Digests in the portage tree are an old obsolete feature that has just |
| 21 |
recently finally been removed from the tree. Now gentoo uses a much |
| 22 |
better Manifest scheme. 'ebuild <ebuild-name> digest has done nothing |
| 23 |
for quite some time now (at least a full year maybe?), and the manifest |
| 24 |
option is the one that works. |

There's interesting information about this on the font page of |
| 27 |
gentoo.org right now |
