#68587: pg github: create new 1.1 version
-------------------------+-----------------------
Reporter: jasonliu-- | Owner: (none)
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 2.8.1
Keywords: portgroup | Port: pg-github
-------------------------+-----------------------
I'm proposing that we create a new {{{github 1.1}}} PortGroup that lives
along-side the existing {{{github 1.0}}} PortGroup. The only difference is
to set the default {{{tarball_from}}} to be {{{archive}}}, so that
Portfile writers don't need to add an extra {{{tarball_from archive}}}
line to their portfiles just to achieve what should be the default
behavior. By making it a new 1.1 PortGroup and also keeping the 1.0
PortGroup around, it maintains backwards compatibility, so that we don't
break the checksums for dozens, maybe hundreds of existing ports that are
using the 1.0 PortGroup and may still be fetching from the legacy/dummy
URLs.
