Comment (by ryandesign):

 Replying to [comment:2 essandess]:
 > {{{ddclient}}} support and distribution was moved to GitHub, so that’s
 where we want to get the source from.

 That's not necessarily a good reason. If they make a new release from that
 location, absolutely use it. But if there was nothing wrong with the old
 file released from the old location, no reason not to continue using that,
 is there?

 > I’m still scratching my head about what caused this issue.

 The file the port used to get from sourceforge is not the same file that
 it now gets from github, but its filename is the same, hence checksum
 mismatch.

 > Isn’t there some way of updating the mirror?

 distfiles are expected to be immutable. If you have a new distfile that
 you want to mirror, arrange for it to appear at a different URL on the
 mirror. See PortfileRecipes#stealth-updates for the correct procedure, if
 that is really the way you want to handle this.

 > Or just add one to the revision and this happens automatically?

 The revision has nothing to do with the distfile location.
