[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

icu and icu-devel are both at the same version and have the same checksums so they are both affected.

The difference between the icu 74.2 distfile we mirrored in December and the one that the developer replaced it with in February is:

% diff -ru macports/icu github/icu
diff: macports/icu/LICENSE: No such file or directory

% ls -l macports/icu/LICENSE github/icu/LICENSE 
-rw-r--r--  1 rschmidt  wheel  25185 Dec 22 12:08 github/icu/LICENSE
lrwxr-xr-x  1 rschmidt  wheel     10 Dec 11 16:27 macports/icu/LICENSE -> ../LICENSE

So: the original release contained a LICENSE symlink pointing to a nonexistent item, while the rerelease contains a LICENSE text file.

The ​bug was reported here.

It was already mentioned in the Portfile when icu-devel was updated to 74.2 in December and icu was updated to 74.2 in January.

So, they decided to fix an issue the worst possible way.

:(

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The simplest fix would be to ignore the stealth update by adding the line master_sites macports_distfiles to the Portfiles (it can go right after the existing master_sites line) until the next version is released.

Has duplicate #69473.
