David,
You are very wise to ask....
If you look at the changes, there are NO changes to what FTP
site the binary is picked up from, there are NO additional files inserting
patches, etc. I have only changed the PORTREVISION so that portupgrade and
the likes will notice it, and the distinfo since there is a new binary
and asc. If you check the make, it actually uses the ".asc" file to verify
the contents.
Had I added any FTP/HTTP sites, additional patches, etc I wouldn't
have even published this. But in my opinion, since I only bump the revision
and give new checksums for files that are taken off a previous distribution
site, I don't feel people are in danger of taking them over.
As dougb says, its just as easy to officially D/L it from the
source site and compile by hand. I was just doing this in the hopes that
people wanted a "make;make install" or "portupgrade ..." could have it
quickly.
