Hello, Freebsd-ports. I notice, that many software projects are hosted on social DVCS hostings nowadays. Other common "feature" among them is absence of "official" tarballs for versions. I don't say, that ALL projects whith primary hosting on these DVCS sites don't publish official tarballs. But many of them don't. On other hand, all these DVCS sites provide way to download auto-generated tarballs for any tag or branch or revision. Maybe, we need support for this model to ports system directly? Like we support SourceForge and other code hosting sites. -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <lev@FreeBSD.org>home | help
