Here's a strange thing: I have a number of servers which all run a portupgrade script every night to fetch the latest distfiles automatically. I then complete the upgrade when I decide I'm in the mood :)
The strange part is that on some of the servers the script works just fine, and on others it runs, and emails me what looks like a job well done, but the distfile has NOT been fetched. When I then go to do the actual upgrade, the distfile must first be fetched by portupgrade before it proceeds to build. Does anyone know what might cause this? Regards, Patrick.
