This above is correct behaviour.

Use "make makepatchsum" to generate patches.

Or if you want to do it manually, remove the CVS tag from top. For
example:

rainier:/usr/pkgsrc$ sed -e '/\$NetBSD.*/d' games/gnome2-games/patches/patch-aa | digest sha1
e74547a19267b1a39528d9556d115fff4f7cd21d

We don't do the checksum for entire file, because of the CVS ID tag at
top.
