The main difference between `make mps' and manually invoking sha1(1) is that the RCS $NetBSD$ keywords are deleted in the former, and hence why the SHA1 checksum differs. > I'll just squeeze my eyes tightly closed and use it. Thanks! :) Apart what Joerg said and - depends on the use case - probably LOCALPATCHES can be quite useful as well and IMHO handier. For more information about it please give a look to `make help topic=LOCALPATCHES' (you can just create a directory to store all your local patches, set it via `LOCALPATCHES' in your mk.conf and then put your patches in `${LOCALPATCHES}/<category>/<package>/...' without needing to modify the distinfo).
