Description jochen 2003-11-17 04:25:09 UTC

Lately I can really bet on emerge sync && emerge -u world to result into at
least on checksum error?

Why is that? Isn't it possible to keep the mirrors somehow consistent? F.e.
mozilla-firebird-0.3-r1 contains a wrong checksum for the tarball (yes, I
reported that already as a seperate bug). Before w3m's checksum was wrong, etc..

I'd suggest setting up a script that lints checksums... it would really make
life easier :|
