Not exactly, as you can see there is a couple with an 'a' after it. /usr/ports/distfiles/live.2004.10.28a.tar.gz /usr/ports/distfiles/live.2004.11.09a.tar.gz Michael Johnson has informed me that this means there is multiple releases in the same day. Maybe the port should address this? Also, I see that DISTNAME is statically set, and if infact live.com creates build daily and doesnt archive old builds, this needs to be updated to
Author hopes to update and build *almost daily*. So he didn't remain old archives.
reflect the current date in the DISTNAME to retrieve the proper distfile. If the maintainer is unresponsive, I would be willing to write a patch for this. Hope this helps.
To update is not so hard. So tell me it is updated. OK.

I cant think of a way to automate this within the port. I can make the port fetch the distfile depending on the date.. like this:
PORTVERSION= ${MYDATE} DISTNAME= live.${PORTVERSION} MYDATE!= date "+%Y.%m.%d"
But the problem exists with the distinfo. The file size and md5 checksum will change daily, isnt there a NO_CHECKSUM or something within the port? Thanks!

You can remove the distinfo file then it will fetch but what about the random "a's" being added to the port name? I personally would like to see a copy of the distfile maintained on another site then updated at a more reasonable time interval.
