As I work on updating ports/games/frotz, I noticed that the file size for the distribution tarball deposited in /usr/ports/distfiles is different than what I get when using git-archive(1). What I get from git-archive(1) is exactly what I get from https://gitlab.com/DavidGriffith/frotz/-/releases/2.51, and NetBSD. Furthermore, when gunzipped, the uncompressed tar files all are 1484800 bytes long, but the FreeBSD one has a different hash than do the others. When all these tar files are unpacked and checked with diff -ru, I'm told that they're all exactly the same. What's going on here? $ ls -l total 1376 -rw-r--r-- 1 dave dave 350429 Mar 30 21:15 frotz-2.51.tar.gz.freebsd -rw-r--r-- 1 dave dave 350626 Mar 30 21:39 frotz-2.51.tar.gz.gitlab -rw-r--r-- 1 dave dave 350626 Mar 30 21:40 frotz-2.51.tar.gz.main -rw-r--r-- 1 dave dave 350626 Mar 30 21:54 frotz-2.51.tar.gz.netbsd 6e62a6b41736186f6a71952af950455e frotz-2.51.tar.gz.freebsd 49f4d1dd64315200b9923d72c2a6d082 frotz-2.51.tar.gz.gitlab 49f4d1dd64315200b9923d72c2a6d082 frotz-2.51.tar.gz.main 49f4d1dd64315200b9923d72c2a6d082 frotz-2.51.tar.gz.netbsd -- David Griffith dave@661.org A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
