#68587: pg github: create new 1.1 version
-------------------------+-----------------------
 Reporter:  jasonliu--   |      Owner:  (none)
     Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal       |  Milestone:
Component:  ports        |    Version:  2.8.1
 Keywords:  portgroup    |       Port:  pg-github
-------------------------+-----------------------
 I'm proposing that we create a new {{{github 1.1}}} PortGroup that lives
 along-side the existing {{{github 1.0}}} PortGroup. The only difference is
 to set the default {{{tarball_from}}} to be {{{archive}}}, so that
 Portfile writers don't need to add an extra {{{tarball_from archive}}}
 line to their portfiles just to achieve what should be the default
 behavior. By making it a new 1.1 PortGroup and also keeping the 1.0
 PortGroup around, it maintains backwards compatibility, so that we don't
 break the checksums for dozens, maybe hundreds of existing ports that are
 using the 1.0 PortGroup and may still be fetching from the legacy/dummy
 URLs.
