Interesting suggestion. Never mind the obvious 'how could it have
been shafted?', but rather point out how one can verify the state
of ones port collection. Please :).
Each tarball has an unique MD5 hash. Each port release has the distinfo
file with the MD5's it has been based upon. Hence each port can verify
if the tarball fetched is the right one. Alternatively it can check
if needed needed stuff like libs or execs are present.
Yet how can a sysop check the correctness of the collection itself?
As well as supporting utilities, of course. Just wipe /usr/ports and
refetch the whole shebang? Coupled with a CVSup of the source, is it
advisable to also wipe the /usr/src tree? Or are there diagnostic tools?
Would be nice since that would be a nice first step in the diagnostic
process.
