dvisvgm @2.7_1: Checksum mismatch for dvisvgm-2.7.tar.gz

[rjs110112]

The input is: sudo port install dvisvgm. And I get the output:

--->  Computing dependencies for dvisvgm
--->  Verifying checksums for dvisvgm
Error: Checksum (rmd160) mismatch for dvisvgm-2.7.tar.gz
Error: Checksum (sha256) mismatch for dvisvgm-2.7.tar.gz
Error: Checksum (size) mismatch for dvisvgm-2.7.tar.gz

Error: Processing of port dvisvgm failed

I think this is a problem since the texlive can't be properly installed.

[rjs110112]

I've fixed it by downloading the dvisvgm package from ​http://macports.distfiles.ionic.de/dvisvgm/ and put it in the directory "/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/dvisvgm" by hand. (this replaces the existing file which is smaller in size) I made a duplication of the package with long name which also pre-exists in the directory. I don't know if that matters. Anyway, then sudo port install dvisvgm would work. I can install texlive now.

This ticket should be filed specifically against the dvisvgm port and owner set to its maintainer (michaelld).

I can reproduce the checksum mismatch issue.

[chrstphrchvz (Christopher Chavez)]

The checksum in the portfile matches the releases download, not the tarball download.

The most recent change to the dvisvgm portfile ([bf528304dd/macports-ports]) commented out this line:

github.tarball_from releases

This caused the default tarball download to be used, which has different checksums; but the checksums were not updated by that commit, nor was the revision incremented.

Was switching this port to tarball intended, or should this be reverted to using releases? (If the latter, I would think the incrementing the revision would not be necessary.)

I have opened a pull request to attempt to fix this: ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/4127

Thanks for alerting me to this issue, and that you for the PR moving back from github tags to release. My preference when possible is to allow the local system to do the work, so keeping things as tags and treating this like a stealth update: tweaking the dist subdir & fixing the checksums & other dependencies. Doing this moves the autoconf stuff to the main part of the Portfile that's shared by both ports, which simplifies everything. I'll push this fix shortly, for this ticket & the other you opened for the devel version.
