The size warnings (during fetch) will essentially always happen. The checksumming/size checking after fetch is fine. I really recommend all USE_GITHUB ports use a mirror as their default MASTER_SITE and use the GH MASTER_SITE secondary. This will prevent checksum errors in the future if they change things again, and avoid the size warnings during fetch. MASTER_SITES= http://some.mirror.com/ \ GH This will check the mirror first, then check github. -- Regards, Bryan Drewery
