>Description:
Since tsclient was updated (a couple of days ago) to 0.124 I have
been unable to fetch a distfile that matches the checksum expected
by pkgsrc. In that period I have fetched two different versions
of something known as tsclient-0.124.tar.gz (both of which seem to
be well formed gzip'd tar archives - ie: neither was corrupted during
the transfer). The difference between the two versions I have seems
to relate to the Chinese messages file (tsclient-0.124/po/zh_CN.po).
Since I don't have the distfile expected by pkgsrc, I don't know
what other differences might exist (also: I did not perform any
kind of genuine analysis of the two files I have, just looked at
the tar 't' output and compared those - no promises that there isn't
also a well hidden trojan...)
>How-To-Repeat:
rm ..../distfiles/tsclient-0.124.tar.gz
cd ..../pkgsrc/net/tsclient
make checksum
>Fix:
Verify that the (seemingly constantly changing) distfile is still
safe, and update the distinfo
make distinfo
(after the above) and commit.
