9 Bear in mind this overrides the security that digests provide, although
10 it is harmless when it is only a Chnagleog file.

16 That's not a good idea as the mismatch could be caused by a hacked
17 source or binary file. The problem with Google Earth was that they used
18 unversioned tarballs. Whenever you gt a digest error on a distfile, the
19 first step is to delete the distfile and let emerge download it again. If
20 that doesn't help, resync and then check Bugzilla. Don't redigest a
21 distfile unless you can e 100% certain of its validity.
