#15397: libuninum distfile changed ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: simon@macports.org | Owner: mww@macports.org Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment (by ryandesign@macports.org): When changing portfile checksums because an upstream distfile changed without the filename changing, you must also change the dist_subdir so that the new distfile goes to a different place than the old file. Otherwise users who had the existing distfile downloaded already will get a checksum error. Now that we have a [http://distfiles.macports.org/ distfiles mirror], it's even more important to ensure each unique distfile gets a unique location in the distfiles directory. Otherwise the distfiles mirror doesn't get updated either. If the new distfile is not just a repackaging, but actually causes different files to be installed, then you must also Increase the port revision. I can confirm by comparing the old and new distfiles that there are hundreds of lines of diffs. I increased the port revision and changed the dist_subdir in r37443. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15397#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
