geant4 fails to build with Error: Checksum for G4ABLA.3.0.tar.gz

[jb.morgado@…]

Hi, geant4 is failing to build complaining of a checksum error in G4ABLA.3.0.tar.gz file.

I tried to re-download the file more than once always with the same error.

G4ABLA.3.0.tar.gz was stealth-updated on November 24. Comparing the original file on distfiles.macports.org with the revised file on geant4.cern.ch, though the gz files differ, and the tar files inside differ, their contents does not. So I think we should just modify the port to fetch the file from our mirrors, until such a time as upstream releases a new version of G4ABLA that actually contains changes. This will be simpler than introducing dist_subdir into the port (since the port has so many distfiles).

Workaround for now: Download G4ABLA.3.0.tar.gz from ​http://distfiles.macports.org/geant4/ and place it in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/geant4, then try installing geant4 again.

Fixed in r87637. This should be undone in the future if a new version of G4ABLA is released and the port is updated to use that version.
