[Nut-upsdev] was the 2.8.4 distfile re-rolled? (no, it's fine!)

Following up after more digging:

  pkgsrc is configured to use the nut website as the distfile location:
    https://networkupstools.org/source/2.8/nut-2.8.4.tar.gz

  There is also github:
    https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/releases/download/v2.8.4/nut-2.8.4.tar.gz

These files are byte-for-byte identical, but have different mod dates:

  $ ls -l NUT-*/*
  -rw-r--r--  1 gdt  wheel  6522704 Aug  8 08:31 NUT-git/nut-2.8.4.tar.gz
  -rw-r--r--  1 gdt  wheel  6522704 Sep 10 14:17 NUT-org/nut-2.8.4.tar.gz
  $ cmp NUT-*/*
  $


So other than the nicety of the mod time matching, all is ok.
