His ports tree is up to date. The problem is that linux-flashplugin7's  
name of distfile doesn't change, so most users will have to do the 'make  
distclean' or delete distfile by manual before fetch it. I am not sure why  
in the latest version of linux-flashplugin7 doesn't has  
DIST_SUBDIR=${PORTNAME}/${PORTVERSION} anymore that is a better solution  
for that problem than DIST_SUBDIR=${PORTNAME}.
