GitHub Downloads and the github portgroup

[Ben Smith]

Hi Lawrence -

I was running it with sudo so I'm not sure this mattered, but I've given
the macports user R/W access to the ports folder.  Same behavior.

THANK YOU! For the increadibly helpful note about live check.

you're using a regex livecheck, it compares "livecheck.version" (which
defaults to the value of "version") to the first capture of each match,
using "vercmp".
