A headache. That's bad news... Yep, the same thing we had with imap source tarball once in a while, when it was in beta stage. I'll try talking to the author, maybe he could do us a favour (like giving versions to the imap-utils package, moving the mlock sources into the main source tarball, etc.). > > Maybe we must have another master site to put the snapshots of > it like imap-utils-4.7.tar.Z, imap-utils-4.8.tar.Z, etc? (Yes, .gz or > .bz2 would be better) Hmm, we tried that when imap was in beta, Steve was holding a snapshot of the tarball on his homepage -- but then we had other (minor) problems... But wait, isn't there an option to convince the port not to verify the checksum for some of the source tarballs ?
