https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D227600 --- Comment #7 from freebsd@dreamchaser.org --- (In reply to Kurt Jaeger from comment #6) I don't think it's appropriate to rely on a particular ports-mgmt tool in t= he explanation, particularly given there are different tools in use by differe= nt people. In any case, the problem is not so much creating a new port from scratch but tweaking an existing port. As explained in comments 3 & 4, one should be u= sing the "makesum" target rather than the "fetch" target when trying to fetch wh= en the port skeleton (e.g. makefile and distinfo) is inconsistent. Perhaps 4.1 #1 could additionally say something like=20 Note: If executing port build stages individually, the fetch target will fa= il if distinfo exists and does not match the distfile to be fetched. In this case, the makesum target should be run instead. It will fetch the new dist= file first, then replace distinfo with the appropriate checksum regardless of wh= at was in distinfo before. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
