Hi guys,

Probably a simple one due to my noobness and apologies if it's old ground.

What are the implications of the current port requesting 1.4.2_02 and Sun
distributing 1.4.2_03? Would a simple rename and ignore the md5 hash work as
nothing is being compiled, merely installed?

Looking at distinfo diffs it suggests the port is periodically updated to
match but currently they are showing out of sync. What's the usual lead time
for updates?

Thanks, Andrew.
