hi all-
i'm trying to compile the latest ruby (stable-snapshot.tar.gz) using
the ports compiler toolchain. i though i might be able to do
something like
sudo cp stable-snapshot.tar.gz distfiles/ruby/ruby-1.8.6.tar.gz
sudo port -p -f install ruby
but no joy. that complained about the checksums. next i edited the
Portfile to reflect that actual checksums but still no joy.
is there a preferred mechanism for doing what i'm trying to do:
install a port with an alternate tarball?
sorry for the barrage of newbie questions - the switch from linux is
going a bit slower that i'd hoped. lot's of new things to learn.
kind regards.

we can deny everything, except that we have the possibility of being
