github

While updating the sysutils/fswatch port, I decided to add the livecheck
configuration. I searched the guide (section 5.8) to see whether there was
some builtin functionality for github but the only mentions I found are
referring to mirror sites (freecode.com, sourceforge.net,
/code.google.com). A search came up with the following MacPorts ticket:
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/53940
As suggested in this ticket, I tried to simply add the following line to
the Portfile and it appears to be working fine:
livecheck.url ${github.homepage}/releases/latest
Shouldn't the guide be updated in order to reflect this feature? I believe
this is an important feature, given the relevance of Github nowadays.
