The github portgroup configures livecheck to use the version which was
passed to github.setup. When you overwrite it to use the actual
${version} and change the

livecheck.version    ${version}

However, since the archives have a tag prefix of 'v' or 'V' that the
port group does not know about, you also need to tweak the regex.

livecheck.regex      archive/\[vV\](\[^"\]+)${extract.suffix}

You can see the URL and regex being used when running with debug output,
for example 'port -d livecheck gate'.
