If you mean compat4x here, that's not true. Don't blame me like that. The distfiles were obviously there at the time the port was updated. Since the snapshot servers delete old files by turns, we must update them periodically. Note that those compat ports are taken as kind of official, it must be done on our collective responsibility, not just mine. That's why I'm not listing myself as maintainer or I don't put distfiles on my own local distfiles area. However, if no one steps forward to do it for this time, I'll do it later today if I have the time.
