GSOC 2019 project: Improvements of Buildbot views (@ MacPorts)

[Pierre Tardy]

Hi Rajdeep,

Buildbot calculates the version number based on tags. You you have to
fetch all the tags so that the version is correctly calculated.

git fetch --tags --all

then you can re-do the make virtualenv

Regards
Pierre
