--digest
              Prevent corruption from being noticed. The `repoman manifest` command is the preferred way to generate manifests and it is capable of doing an entire repository or category at once (see repoman(1)).


Repoman was removed from the gentoo repository.

Thanks for the report! I spoke to Sam on IRC and it looks like there were a couple PR's for this issue that just got stuck, I've linked them and assigned to portage team.
