Comment (by ryandesign):

 I've found three different versions of "exiv2-0.26-trunk.tar.gz" so far. I
 put the tarball whose checksums match the Portfile on the distfiles
 server.

 The contents of the files inside all three tarballs is the same, there are
 just unimportant differences in the metadata (e.g. the modification date
 of the configure script differs, or in some tarballs all of the files have
 the `user:_spotlight` attribute). So there's no point to modifying the
 checksums of the Portfile and making anyone fetch a different distfile. We
 can force the port to fetch from the MacPorts mirrors, and not upstream,
 by setting `master_sites macports_distfiles`.

 The developers should be made aware of the problems stealth-updating their
 distfile is causing; hopefully they will then stop doing so.
