* From: Foxfair Hu <foxfair@news.ks.edu.tw> * Hmm .... this ports use the same distfile as x11/aterm, and I fetched from * the two MASTER_SITE, use md5 to check it - seems ok. * ===Like this============ * Receiving aterm-0.3.4.tar.gz (290321 bytes): 100% * 290321 bytes transfered in 0.3 seconds (918.04 Kbytes/s) * ===> Extracting for zh-aterm-0.3.4 * >> Checksum OK for aterm-0.3.4.tar.gz. * ======================== * * This file is 290321 bytes, I'll put it under my freefall's account and * add a MASTER_SITE http://www.freebsd.org/~foxfair/ to the end. * Hope the error message won't confuse anybody anymore. That doesn't solve anything. I already fixed it according to cpiazza's suggestion, but let me try to explain. See, the problem is this: (1) master-site-a has file with checksum A and master-site-b has file with checksum B. Both are valid tarfiles and will extract exactly the same. (2) You only have checksum A in files/md5. (3) The port works only if master-site-a is feeling fine. If it's down, the file will be fetched from master-site-b and the checksum will fail. Adding another site with checksum A after master-site-b won't prevent the problem from occuring.
