Comment (by jrblevin@…):

 I'm the author of markdown-mode and noticed this port submission recently.
 I'm a MacPorts user, but it had not occurred to me to make a Portfile for
 markdown-mode, so thanks for making one!  I thought I'd provide some
 additional information in case it's helpful.  Also, I'll note that there
 is a new version (1.9) since this Portfile was written.

 > You're correct. I downloaded two distfiles a few minutes apart, and
 while the unpacked contents are identical, the distfiles themselves are
 not binary indentical because of GZIP's timestamp in the header.

 The tarballs from the cgit interface are indeed automatically generated.
 In case they are useful, I've created "official" tarballs for each
 markdown-mode release which can be found, e.g., here:

 http://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode/markdown-mode-1.9.tar.gz

 I'll keep adding these for each new stable release, so feel free to pull
 the distfile using the corresponding URL pattern.  Of course, currently
 only the `markdown-mode.el` file is needed for installation, so it's fine
 to just download that file directly.

 from the project's web site. (Attached.)

 Although the stable version (used in the most recent Portfile attached
 above) has been on a long release cycle, I'd suggest that it be used for a
 primary package.  If you still prefer to use the Git version (perhaps it
 could be called something like markdown-mode-git) then the latest .el file
 at the HEAD can be obtained directly here:

 http://jblevins.org/git/markdown-mode.git/plain/markdown-mode.el

 Also, in case it helps with automating things, the 'stable' branch in the
 Git repository always tracks the last release, and each release has a tag
 of the form 'v1.8.1' or 'v1.9':

 http://jblevins.org/git/markdown-mode.git/log/?h=stable

 Finally, is it possible (or even necessary) to create an `emacs_app`
 variant?  I used something like the following in the Portfile I wrote for
 the ESS package:

 {{{
 variant emacs_app description "If your Emacs is emacs-app" {
     depends_lib-append      port:emacs-app
     depends_lib-delete      port:emacs
     destroot.args-append
 EMACS=/Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs
     destroot.args-append
 LISPDIR=${destroot}/Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources
 /site-lisp/ess
 }
 }}}

 Or is the `emacs-app` package already configured to look in
 `${destroot}${prefix}/share/emacs/site-lisp`?

 Thanks again for this port and please let me know if there's anything I
 can do to help.
