Doug, > Your port was committed with some improvements. Most notably, please > learn how to use portlint, and always sort your plist. That makes it > much much easier to diff down the road, and keeps the diffs small. Sorry, but your 'improvements' broke the port. This is not my first port, and I *do* know how to use portlint. I also know about a few quirks, one of them being that I need to define DISTFILES and not just DISTNAME if I want to check if the file to be downloaded exists and otherwise print a message. Next time when taking over a port I will regenerate the pkg-plist file, as you suggested.
