Please remember to use WikiFormatting, to fill in the Port field, and to Cc the maintainer of that port.

Yes, it appears qt4-mac has been stealth-updated by its developers. The distfile we mirrored at the beginning of the month, for which the checksums in the portfile were written, is 219424772 bytes, but the file available on their servers now is 220388303 bytes. The diff between the contents of the two distfiles is enormous, about 1.8 million lines long, all in the doc directory, mostly the html files. qt4-mac does install html files; if these changed html files are the ones that the port ends up installing, the port's revision should increase when it follows this update.

potential patch

[ryandesign@…]

Here is a patch that should work, but I haven't completed building it yet.

[michaelld@…]

Done in r84001, along with Qt's patch for bad digistor certs.

[ryandesign@…]

You forgot to change the dist_subdir, as I had in my patch, which is required for stealth updates. Done in r84002.

[michaelld@…]

Thanks. If you say so then that's good enough for me.

[ryandesign@…]

wiki:PortfileRecipes#stealth-updates explains why changing the dist_subdir is necessary.

[michaelld@…]

Yeah; that's what I thought the reason was. Thanks for the pointer.
