Apropos "md5-secured" distfiles: If you use a proxy (e.g.squid) for ftp, it might use FTP-ASCII for transfer, not BINARY, which might result in a inband conversation from CRLF to LF in FTP for ASCII-files (.txt, .c, ... ) Some ports with distfile patches as textfiles or plain c-Sources (GhostScript, squid(?), ... ) complain about bad md5-sums. Deleting this files and refetching without proxy (ftp_proxy="" portupgrade -rF foo/bar) is a manual workaround for this. In some environments you don't have ftp without a (squid)proxy. Any idea or better workaround? Regards Raphael Becker
