I'm pretty sure this resulted from changes to libarchive / bsdtar. With them generating different tarballs for the same input, the portsnap build thinks that everything has changed. ... there's actually code on the portsnap builder to revert such changes, but I don't think delphij knew about it and I didn't realize he was upgrading the portsnap builder until too late. -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
