I'm trying to see if I can get away with the symlink method. I removed the "source /var/lib/layman/make.conf" line from make.conf, created /usr/local/portage/sys-kernel/, and created a symlink in that directory like "geek-sources -> /var/lib/layman/init6/sys-kernel/geek-sources" but I get: * Missing digest for '/usr/local/portage/sys-kernel/geek-sources/geek-sources-3.7.0.ebuild' * Missing digest for '/usr/local/portage/sys-kernel/geek-sources/geek-sources-3.6.10.ebuild' * Missing digest for '/usr/local/portage/sys-kernel/geek-sources/geek-sources-3.5.7.ebuild' - Grant
