Because of the problem caused by having a mis-matched distinfo lying around I assumed (erroneously) that SF didn't work and started trying other things. The handbook explicitly mentions one might have to do this. >> A problem also encountered while searching for a solution was a >> stale distinfo left over from using the 0.40 version; moving it >> aside allowed the fetch to complete.

I know to do that and had all ready done so with the 0.40 version, which was why the stale distinfo was lying around. This whole thread came up because I couldn't get a good fetch to do a make makesum with because a stale distinfo was lying around. > Do not forget to run 'portlint -AC' and 'poudriere testport ...' > before opening a PR! ;) the portlint part is easy, poudriere not so easy if if it's not what one uses normally.
