The problem will also arise that when you go to the site to download the tarball and you notice that there is a newer version that contains bug fixes, security patches or general performance/enhancements. If you get the new version rather than the version that is specified in your Makefile, you will have MD5 Checksum issues. It is still in your and your computers best interst to update your ports tree, keeping you safe from other nasty issues. :) Good luck. ~Shane pgp key: http://www.freebsdhackers.net/pgp -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE+A2yQtGSLUf7ussURAs9VAJwJKzg43u8Lu5ob28ossHF636wQSwCfVqNm nsOx/x2xqSCo8QpqZAuUiFc= =qVRc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
