Just type make makesum
. The ports make
rules will automatically generate the file
distinfo
.
If a file fetched has its checksum changed regularly and
you are certain the source is trusted (i.e., it comes from
manufacturer CDs or documentation generated daily), you should
specify these files in the IGNOREFILES
variable. Then the checksum is not calculated for that file
when you run make makesum
, but set to
IGNORE
.
