A quick comment and question re the ports tree.
Since the ./distinfo file began listing the "SIZE="
line, my portupgrade scripts (and fetch) have broken
when I upgrade. I'm running 4.7PRE and 4.8PRE. (I'm
trying to floppy install 5.2-RELEASE, as well.)
Do I need to get a new version of fetch? Hand-deleting
the SIZE line in the ./distinfo file is a temp
workaround; is there a better way? ...I must have
missed *something*........
