axel @2.13.1: Checksum error

[rickyzhang82 (Ricky Zhang)]

I did update in Tiger 10.4 PPC. I encountered the following error:

--->  Computing dependencies for axel

I believe the culprit is openssl package. But I haven't figured it out how to fix it.

Finally, I got it all fixed. See my PR in ​https://github.com/kencu/TigerPorts/pull/4

Ricky mentions Tiger, but this port is currently broken for building on all systems, I believe.

I can confirm that Ricky's Portfile fixes axel on 10.4, 10.6, and 10.12.

Ricky - do you want to go ahead and submit a PR to MacPorts for this? In doing so, it will run Travis builds on 10.10, 10.11, and 10.12 to verify those systems as well.

[rickyzhang82 (Ricky Zhang)]

My Intel Mac get the binary directly from macports. Thus it never build it from scratch.

I wonder how this works. I don't see this in MacPort documentation.

BTW, I don't mind send a PR to macports github. But what's the point if yours are for Tiger and only Tigers build it from scratch. I don't even notice axel is downloaded as binary in my Intel Mac.

[kencu (Ken)]

Oh, I find the same problem trying to build axel on all my machines, when building from source. You do it like this, to force a build from source even if a binary exists: sudo port -v -s install axel . So it would be general fix for all of MacPorts.

Checksum mismatches will occur when projects move from one GitHub user or organization to another, as happened here when axel moved from the eribertomota user to the axel-download-accelerator organization.

If this problem is handled on its own (without a version update), it needs to be handled as a stealth update, not just by changing the checksums.

Since version 2.14 was just released, I'll instead fix it by updating the port to that version.
