Hi Christian,

May i ask in the feature not to do this way? I updated FreeBSD port 
after release and then i was on the road when checksum  was changed. So 
i got a lot of reports about broken port. Also it making a big problem 
for 3-rd party dist. files mirrors, often they will never recheck the 
file when it already mirrored. Currently port checksum was fixed but in 
the feature its better to release 5.42.1 or 5.43 in case of such problems.
