Comment (by ryandesign at macports.org):
When changing portfile checksums because an upstream distfile changed
without the filename changing, you must also change the dist_subdir so
that the new distfile goes to a different place than the old file.
Otherwise users who had the existing distfile downloaded already will get
a checksum error. Now that we have a [http://distfiles.macports.org/
distfiles mirror], it's even more important to ensure each unique distfile
gets a unique location in the distfiles directory. Otherwise the distfiles
mirror doesn't get updated either.
If the new distfile is not just a repackaging, but actually causes
different files to be installed, then you must also Increase the port
revision. I can confirm by comparing the old and new distfiles that there
are hundreds of lines of diffs.
I increased the port revision and changed the dist_subdir in r37443.
