I don't really like this. This complicates the port a lot. As I expected the release came out and a proper file was placed out there.
I think we should follow the same path as we did in the past, with something like this: Index: Makefile =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/ports/www/youtube-dl/Makefile,v retrieving revision 1.29 diff -u -p -r1.29 Makefile --- Makefile 7 Mar 2012 22:00:07 -0000 1.29 +++ Makefile 1 Oct 2012 07:55:13 -0000 @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ COMMENT = command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com -V = 2012.02.27 +V = 2012.09.27 DISTNAME = youtube-dl-${V} WRKDIST = ${WRKDIR}/youtube-dl DIST_SUBDIR = youtube-dl Plus the size bits that are missing for now (until sthen@ uploads the new sample if we decide to go this way).
