System: NetBSD panic 4.0_BETA2 NetBSD 4.0_BETA2 (PANIC) #1: Sun Jan 7 15:45:57 CET 2007 woodstoc@panic:/usr/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile.i386/PANIC i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
For packages (like wm/wmthemes) that have no distinfo files, make fetch
fails with "fetch: ``-c'' requires ``-f distinfo''." if FAILOVER_FETCH
is used.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/pkgsrc/wm/wmthemes && make fetch
>Fix:
I think mk/fetch/fetch should fall back to not verifying the checksum if
there is no distinfo file specified, just like it does for resume.
