hmmm.... it seems there is an additional file revlist.bak in the upstream's archive. I would think that's a harmless file and we could just treat this as a "stealth update", or you could ask on the upstream's mailing list what's up with the change of the archive.

In 719640126aa483c7e8094e4940bb6967d7223032/macports-ports (master):

vile: Ignore upstream stealth update of 9.8u

Closes: #63306

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Wait an hour from now, then run sudo port selfupdate and sudo port clean --all vile and then try to install it again.

I hadn't noticed this until today (the dates reported on this web interface are misleading, because they say "5 months ago", while 9.8u was in May 2020 -- today's December 12, 2021).

The upstream file for 9.8u was updated May 20, 2020 after the Debian packager reported this issue.

9.8v is released today, fixing the build-breakage. I'd have released it last fall, but had decided to complete a change I'd started right after 9.8u (see ​https://github.com/ThomasDickey/vile-snapshots).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Nothing misleading: 5 months ago, 2021-07-27, this bug was reported to us, and 5 months ago, 2021-07-31, we fixed it.
