When I try to install the multimedia/handbrake port, I get the following 
error message:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When I go to the URL, I find that the only version available is 0.7.1, 
which was apparently released 2/24/2006.  The earlier version is 
probably available through some sort of source control, but I wasn't 
smart enough to figure out what/where/how.

Being new to FreeBSD, I don't know the proper procedure in this case. 

Should I report this to someone?  Or is taken care of in some other 
way?  Or is this the wrong forum?

Can I just manually edit the port Makefile and distinfo file to have the 
correct version/size/MD5 etc?  Or is this too simplistic a fix that will 
screw up other things?

As always,
Thanks for your support
