The framework uses the variables provided in the port to construct a URL that obtains a tarball via GitHub's API. It is fetched via /archive/, the same method as the 'download as zip/tar' buttons in the GitHub web interface It is a snapshot of the repository code at that tag, branch or revision, not a clone of the repository. > In any case, as Thierry pointed out (thanks!), the tarball is there, so > this is over. > The distributions in /releases/ are separate and different (and may or may not be the same as the raw/pure sources) _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
