>Description:
I sync my pkgsrc tree at approximate 5am (GMT) every morning.

Between Tuesday 18th July and Wednesday 19th July, some core part of the pkgsrc 
system has been updated and broken: "bmake" will no longer fetch files.

For example, in editors/vim-share:

bsd@octane /usr/bsd/src/editors/vim-share $ bmake fetch
=> Required installed package digest>=20010302: digest-20060302 found
===> check-vulnerable [vim-share-7.0.39] ===> Checking for vulnerabilities in

bsd@octane /usr/bsd/src/editors/vim-share $ bmake 
===> check-vulnerable [vim-share-7.0.39] ===> Checking for vulnerabilities in 
vim-share-7.0.39

bmake: stopped in /usr/bsd/src/editors/vim-share
>How-To-Repeat:

This problem is not isolated to a single package: vim, vim-share, and m4 (the 
only updates for my system) are likewise affected.

If I manually download the required file(s) and place them in the distfiles 
directory, then the packages are built and installed correctly - so the only 
bug is in the system which actually fetches files.

If someone can point me at exactly what files (Makefiles in /mk/?) actually 
perform the fetching of packages, then I can go through any recent changes to 
see what's causing the problem - can someone point me in the right direction?

(Additionally, is there an IRC channel where I could raise issues like this?  
If so, what network should I be connecting to?)
