-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  25961532 Jun 10 13:31:18 2002 X420src-1.tgz

myprompt$ cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4
myprompt$ make ; make install ; make clean

One problem.  The tgz files I have are X420 but the "make" seems to want an
earlier version, X402.  How may I remedy this?  (My apologies but I am not
versed in portupgrade -R nor in cvs/cvsweb.)

myprompt /usr/ports/x11 # ls -al XFree86-4/Makefile* XFree86-4/distinfo
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  5097 Jun 10 13:39 XFree86-4/Makefile
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  5069 Apr 10  2001 XFree86-4/Makefile.old
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   271 Apr  9  2001 XFree86-4/distinfo

Followup question: Is it difficult to override the outdated info in the
above files manually?  I tried just making changes in the Makefile but the
distinfo file has MD5 checksums in it... help?
