 Well, I guess it is quite impossible to realise then. Just tried to be
 helpful ;-)

 So you mean `make checksum` before you alter any distinfo files? I did
 that. I'd better explain all steps I took;
 
 | /usr/ports/archivers # make -j4 fetch
 | /usr/ports/archivers # make checksum
 | <add the SHA256 sums to the distinfo's>
 | /usr/ports/archivers # mv ../distfiles ../distfiles-old
 | /usr/ports/archivers # mkdir ../distfiles
 | /usr/ports/archivers # make -j4 fetch
 | /usr/ports/archivers # make checksum
 
 That would be good, right?
 
 Yours,
