No, existing use of md5 will continue to work for a long time. Using md5 isn't a problem, not using anything else is. Using md5 alone should probably become an error in a future version. The "correct checksum line may be" message when the checksums don't match just uses whatever types are defined in the portfile, unless there are none, in which case it suggests two default types, neither of which is md5. - Josh _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
