Hrmm well i dont see a new version release...
None of the ports is reporting error when
port is installed that i know of. Most even has the
same version # in the tarball name. I only submitted
>50% of the checksum errors reported by bento not all
without testing. I dont know what the author changed.
If its just checksum update because of some change
without new version of program released, then just
PORTREVISION bump + checksum update should be it.
Thats what i see happen most of the time and people just
put chase checksum in commit message. Why would author want
to make a totally drastic/non-minor change to their program
without bumping the port's version up?
