This port builds only one file: fs2_open_diaspora, which is known and specified
at configure stage. The distifle contents is also known and didn't change,
while distinfo is correct for distfiles. If distinfo is changed, the maintainer
will need to check plist issues again, regardless of the method used. The port
also control the do-install stage.

Well, if you want to check issues of this port, you will need to check attached
logs, check-plist and portlint results, which means to use poudriere (or
tinderbox), either just install/deinstall the port (and games/wxlauncher, which
is needed from 195013 bug report). But beware, this might take many hours
(depending from the test method used and hardware capabilities). I did it and I
know what I talking about.

Personally, I used dynamic package list generation for many ports and they are
still works.
