Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 You are correct that the portfile should live in only one system: ours.
 MacPorts requires the portfile to be in its repository to function, and it
 is confusing if another copy is maintained separately elsewhere.

 You should never modify a distfile after it's been released. Distfiles
 should be immutable. If you must make changes, release them under a new
 version number. Modifying a distfile after release is what we call a
 [wiki:PortfileRecipes#stealth-updates stealth update]. You must follow
 that recipe now. Just changing the checksums is not sufficient.
