#14078: webarchiver 0.2 fetch failure --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: boeyms@… Type: defect | Status: reopened Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: webarchiver | --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * status: closed => reopened * resolution: fixed => Comment: The checksums again don't match. The gzip file I downloaded just now differs from the one I downloaded four days ago, however the tar file inside is identical. I suspect github dynamically creates these archives, and that because the gzip format needs entropy, the gzip file is different every time it is generated. The author of this software should provide distfiles for download on their web site. If they will not do so, we should put it in the [browser:distfiles MacPorts repository]. Also, don't forget to change the dist_subdir anytime you update checksums for a stealth upgrade, so that anyone who still has the old distfile around does not then encounter a checksum mismatch error, e.g. this time around you could add "`dist_subdir ${name}/${version}`" to the portfile, and you could remove it when the next version number is released. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/14078#comment:11> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
