    abuild: Change -f (force) to not ignore checksums/init scripts · 6981f3a6
    Oliver Smith authored
    The force flag used to skip the following functions, without any
    documentation in the help (-h) output:
    
      * verify (checksum verification)
      * initdcheck (check if the init scripts are openrc scripts)
      * check_arch (check if the target architecture is in "arch=")
      * check_libc (check if the target libc is masked in the options)
    
    This was counter-intuitive and could even be dangerous (when one relies
    on the checksum verification to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks, but
    always uses the -f flag).
    
    With this commit, it only skips check_arch and check_libc besides the
    package up to date check and the help output mentions this.
