Comment:

 The checksums again don't match. The gzip file I downloaded just now
 differs from the one I downloaded four days ago, however the tar file
 inside is identical. I suspect github dynamically creates these archives,
 and that because the gzip format needs entropy, the gzip file is different
 every time it is generated.

 The author of this software should provide distfiles for download on their
 web site. If they will not do so, we should put it in the
 [browser:distfiles MacPorts repository].

 Also, don't forget to change the dist_subdir anytime you update checksums
 for a stealth upgrade, so that anyone who still has the old distfile
 around does not then encounter a checksum mismatch error, e.g. this time
 around you could add "`dist_subdir ${name}/${version}`" to the portfile,
 and you could remove it when the next version number is released.
