Hello, I retrieved links-2.1pre18.tar.bz2 twice.
Hi
links-2.1pre19 was already released. I don't have the old archive and I
think it's not needed to add bogus file to it now. I will try to make sure
that this won't happen in the future.

The files are different sizes:
3884871 Sep 11 22:36 links-2.1pre18.tar.bz2
and older download:
5443919 Aug 3 01:26 links-2.1pre18.tar.bz2
The change is in the links-2.1pre18/graphics/font_include.c file.
I am a maintainer for the pkgsrc packages collection. We use filesizes and
sha1 and md5 checksums to verify the integrity of the downloads for our build
process. (Gentoo's build system does similar and this helped detect a
sendmail trojan a couple years ago.)
Also it makes it hard for others to provide mirrors of the downloads now that
there are different files with identical filename.
Please consider updating the version number for any officially released
downloads.
Can you please release it as 2.1pre19?
Thank you,
