Hi. I need to emerge Firebird 1.5.4-r3. But in my portage tree there are only 2.0 versions. How can I emerge versions that are not present in portage tree?

Collect the old ebuild and any required files into an overlay then, if the files which are specified to be downloaded by the ebuild are still available, just install the package

Downloaded the files. When I run emerge firebird i get this message:
Code:

Calculating dependencies -!!! Digest verification failed:
!!! /usr/portage/dev-db/firebird/firebird-1.5.4-r3.ebuild
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=dev-db/firebird-1.5.4-r3" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-db/firebird-1.5.4-r3 (masked by: corruption)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

I've tried all available revisions but there's always the same problem[/code]
