After removing distfiles that I no longer needed, I can't resume the already-unpacked build of chromium: $ ebuild /var/db/repos/gentoo/www-client/chromium/chromium-70.0.3538.45.ebuild package merge >>> Existing ${T}/environment for 'chromium-70.0.3538.45' will be sourced. >>> Run 'clean' to start with a fresh environment. >>> Checking chromium-70.0.3538.45.tar.xz's mtime... >>> Timestamp of chromium-70.0.3538.45.tar.xz has changed; recreating WORKDIR... This really makes no sense since the ebuild didn't change, neither did the checksum of distfile, so restarting would either mean unpacking the same file unnecessarily or failing due to checksum mismatch.
