I want to install ghostscript with additional printer drivers (well, in fact only one :wink: ), but to do that I need to alter the Makefile.
If I do that and replace the original tar.bz file emerge complains about the message digest not being the same (and for good reason of course). Is there a way to skip that check or should I proceed in a (very?) different way ?
I could of course try building a complete new ebuild file, but that will probably cost me a little too much time at the moment.
thnx for any suggestions :D

Try do do an
Quote:
md5sum foo.bar.tar.gz

and replace the md5 result from the original in the /usr/portage/category/foo.bar/files/digest-foo.bar file

Tell me if I'm wrong (I've never tried it)

Regards

that worked... kinda
at least it would compile with the changed Makefile
but it didn't solve my problem (the printerdriver is still not included)
no idea why
