I received this the other day:

Subject: Re: Recent change to maildir.patch.gz

Dear Trond,

  thank you for your message. I imagine that you are referring to the chang=
es
between the initial release of the maildir patch, and the current release of
the maildir patch.

  A user notified that his compiler failed to build alpine when patched with
the maildir patch due to the existence of a non-declared function in the du=
mmy
driver. This needed modifications of the maildir patch. While I was on it, I
also got rid of many warnings that
the compiler gave me. This resulted in many changes to the patch.

  I am sorry that the combination of "patch" + version + SHA256 does not
determine a unique "patch". The reason why this happens is because I someti=
mes
need to clear bugs in the code, and so the patch changes, making the
corresponding change in the SHA256, which seems
to be the issue you are having. I do publish the SHA256 sums, and they chan=
ge
not because I am evil towards you but because I need to make changes to the
code. If you are interested in preserving the SHA256 you will have to downl=
oad
the patch to your site, but then you
will not get any updates I might make.

  One more time I apologize for this inconvenience, but the behavior you ju=
st
found will continue happening when I need to fix bugs or add new features. =
In
the case that just happened, it was to solve issues with compilation for a
compiler.

  I hope this helps.
