It's a basic measure to ensure the source files haven't changed (some projects are known to change the source files without changing the tarball name) and that the installation instructions in the ebuild are still valid. Note that it's possible for the source files to change and the instructions in the ebuild appear to work, but to not correctly install the package. AllenJB
