>Description:
It seems that the guys from the MesaLib-project have uploaded new tarballs to SourceForge without changing the release-number (that's what i call stupid...).

Of course, neither MesaLib nor MesaDemos now work due to incorrect checksums. I tried to override the checksumming as suggested by the script, but MesaLib fails due to a wrong automake/m4 makro. MesaDemos builds and installs well, but other packages can't link against it.

This issues influence a great deal of software, including IMHO all QT-based software.
>How-To-Repeat:
Just do a "make install" on any Mesa package or try to rebuild mplayer or qt.
>Fix:
I suggest to mirror the old versions of this packages on a NetBSD fileserver and changing the download-location according until the compilation-issues can be resolved (because this is a quite fatal problem that needs to be fixed ASAP. Without Mesa there is not very much that actually *does* compile for a GUI-based development-system)
