latexdiff checksum error in upgrade from 0.5.1 to 1.0.2_2

[trg818 (Thomas Ruedas)]

While making an extensive upgrade, the following error occurs during installation of latexdiff and prevents the upgrade of texlive:

Yup, the port needs to be updated to version 1.0.3. Also the livecheck needs to be fixed.

The port should also finally switch from an unversioned distfile to a versioned distfile (available ​here) so this doesn't keep happening every time the port is updated.

I updated the version to 1.0.3 in r108361.

However, I don't see a way to use a versioned distfile. The BerliOS links open a download page (HTML) rather than the file itself. Could you please provide some guidance on this as well as the livecheck issue?

[aschenke@…]

I had to revert the changes in r108362 due to a buildbot error. This was only a checksum and version number change. Any ideas why it's causing an issue?

I already explained why. The port uses an unversioned distfile, and does not follow the recipe for unversioned distfiles. But instead of using that recipe, a versioned distfile should be used. I'll see if I can give you a patch.

Thanks very much Ryan!
