I haven't tried this in years but from this link: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2004.2/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=6 there is this text: [QUOTE] If you are certain that the sources you've fetched and the ebuild itself are valid, you can regenerate the Manifest and digest-<package> file using ebuild's digest functionality: Code Listing 2.3: Regenerate Manifest and digest # ebuild path/to/ebuild digest [QUOTE] HTH, Mark
