This is possible when the porter (the guy who maintains the port in FreeBSD) hasn't noticed that the distfile was overwritten by the maintainers of the source, without changing version numbers... I've found that a quick note in email, to the maintainer of the port (listed in the MAINTAINER= ... line of the port Makefile) tends to solve any problems the port has :-) Giorgos Keramidas FreeBSD Documentation Project keramida@{freebsd.org,ceid.upatras.gr} http://www.FreeBSD.org/docproj/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
