The following reply was made to PR ports/79691; it has been noted by GNATS.

As described in the PR, it looks like the tarball is being auto-generated from files pulled from a CVS repository. Looking at the tarball, the contents of the CVS directory changes each time the files are pulled from CVS and tarballed. It looks like the authors are generating the tarball each night or almost every night. That is the reason for the size and checksum change... this also means that having a static size and checksum in distinfo is going to cause the port to not build in most cases. For instance, the latest info for the bindtest.tgz file from ftp://ftp.kame.net/pub/kame/misc/ (which is the first master site listed in the Makefile) has a modified time of "2005-04-08 20:09:00", a size of 9568 and a different checksum than the one I submitted in the PR. --=20 Linh Pham question+fbsdports@closedsrc.org http://closedsrc.org/ --k1lZvvs/B4yU6o8G Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFCWBdVwhofDeWkDMIRAqvCAJwJ+eNx6/T/n+xoRcIhjjP0QocC8gCgg2gz mEeTltOSxgSCAUcwCyOlEKM= =OgQu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --k1lZvvs/B4yU6o8G--
