The primary reason to use a digest for cache validation instead of a
timestamp is that it allows the cache validation mechanism to work
even if the tree is distributed with a protocol that does not
preserve timestamps, such as git or subversion. This would make it
possible to distribute metadata cache directly from git and
subversion repositories (among others).
So just to make sure I understand what you're after... You want to add
some checksum to the cache file to make sure that all its other vars
(line 1-17) are still the same even though there are timestamp issues?
Or is that checksum for the ebuild file (which is in the Manifest file
in the ebuild dir)?
