https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D249554 --- Comment #4 from Jan Beich <jbeich@FreeBSD.org> --- Porter's Handbook 5.4.3 wording is fine "as is". It recommends looking at upstream-prepared upload first instead of always relying on automatically generated (via USE_GITHUB). The devil is in the details. For example, upstr= eam python-based projects often exclude tests and sometimes even license file f= rom uploads to PyPI. So which is better depends on a particular port and maintainer's preferences. After ports r527163 there's no "better" and I'm n= ot the maintainer here. If you like bug 249503 why not commit it *separately* from this bug. (In reply to Emmanuel Vadot from comment #3) > What's the problem of using PATCHSITES/PATCH_FILES without USE_GITHUB ? Hardcoding value for GH_ACCOUNT in PATCHSITES i.e., slightly harder to copy-paste from port to port. Bug 249503 actually hardcoded more than necessary: libwacom instead of ${PORTNAME}. > I don't understand the comment on trust on human factor GitHub archives are automatic, based on git-archive(1). In order to comprom= ise them one has to force push or update tag(s). Changing manual releases is le= ss noticible because those are not guaranteed to match whatever is in the repo= and are not part of the distributited nature of Git. > what about trust on github not screwing the generated archives then ? I think it'd be rare due to affecting many repos. GitHub being down happens more often but using manual releases won't help avoid being affected. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
