In addition to "Manifest" files in portage tree there are 19000

Is possible to avoid the use of theese files?


Not if you ever want to ensure that what you're downloading hasn't been
trojaned or otherwise tampered with.


ok, this is true only when you have FEATURES="strict" or "cvs" that it's
not the default.



no it's not

Manifest is checked when you have FEATURES=strict, digest is checked everytime you fetch/unpack files ... all those little 'src_uri md5' lines is a check against the digest

ah ok, I was confused by the fact that I can change patches and ebuild in my *overlays* without the need of a "ebuild P digest"
already found "digestCheckFiles" & "digestcheck" in portage.py so pointers not needed anymore.


thanks
