handling less painful.
See: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-distfiles.html#makefile-master_sites-github
To use, set in Makefile:
DISTNAME= exampleproject-1.2
USE_GITHUB= YES
The following variables alter USE_GITHUB behavior:
GH_ACCOUNT defaults to PKGBASE
GH_PROJECT defaults to PKGBASE
GH_TAGNAME defaults to PKGVERSION_NOREV
(sometimes you want to override with v${PKGVERSION_NOREV})
GH_COMMIT explicit commit hash if no tag is available
GH_RELEASE default empty, may be set to ${DISTNAME} for example
GH_TYPE overrides the autodetected MASTER_SITE URL scheme
* All the smarts is now encapsulated in the "fetch" script. The fetch
script understands how to use the distinfo file (if specified) to
look up the size and checksums of the file to fetch and will use
that information to verify checksums of the fetched files or resume
transfers of interrupted fetches.
* Move the default settings for FETCH_RESUME_ARGS and FETCH_OUTPUT_ARGS
for "ftp" from mk/defaults/mk.conf into mk/fetch/fetch.mk. We rewrite
it to avoid needing conditional statements.
* Avoid spawning a new make(1) process just to mirror a distfile.
* Split out fetch-list targets into a separate file fetch-list.mk.
These targets should probably be moved into a standalone script.
* Fix distclean target to properly remove partial downloads.
subdirectories of pkgsrc/mk. Move the following files around for
locality:
pkgsrc/mk/scripts/extract -> pkgsrc/mk/extract/extract
pkgsrc/mk/bsd.sites.mk -> pkgsrc/mk/fetch/sites.mk
Also get rid of the recursive make for the "fetch" and "extract"
targets. This basically merges the "fetch" and "extract" phases into
the "patch" phase.
There is still much more work to do to simplify the fetch code, but
this is a good start.
