Well, since you provoked me into it, I've had a look, the main
distinfo part I've distilled into something simpler:
[crees at pegasus]~% svn co $ports/head/www/xpi-firebug at r303627
A xpi-firebug/distinfo
A xpi-firebug/pkg-descr
A xpi-firebug/pkg-plist
A xpi-firebug/Makefile
Checked out revision 303627.
[crees at pegasus]~% cd xpi-firebug
[crees at pegasus]~/xpi-firebug% <distinfo while read s f discard ; do
while> echo $s
while> done
SHA256
[crees at pegasus]~/xpi-firebug%
Granted, that leaves off the SIZE line, but I can't see any problems here...
The only part of portmaster that I can see that cares about SIZE
depends on ports/106483, which is still in waiting (is this going to
be needed with pkgng anyway?)
Given this... specifics could be nice for people who can't distil the
actual problem.
I understand that this is correct, but you can't claim it affects
portmaster when it actually doesn't.
