I'm getting checksum failures, failures to get the dist files (I fixed that by SUPping them and the ports list from ftp.freebsd.org) and STILL got checksum failures! So now I'm commenting out specific distributions..... but it appears that about 10% or so are blowing up. And repacking them is basically impossible; "make packages" doesn't do anything other than run through the builds (it makes no .tgz files) > Which /usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk do you have?

Ok; I'll go ahead and load that, but the problem is that I'm still hosed on the distributions that fail checksum... -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@MCS.Net)| MCSNet - The Finest Internet Connectivity http://www.mcs.net/~karl | T1 from $600 monthly; speeds to DS-3 available | 23 Chicagoland Prefixes, 13 ISDN, much more Voice: [+1 312 803-MCS1] | Email to "info@mcs.net" WWW: http://www.mcs.net/ Fax: [+1 312 248-9865] | Home of Chicago's only FULL Clarinet feed!
