Re: possible to fetch sources from git repository?

Some of the sources are only available in git repositories so the question arise whether it is possible to fetch sources from git repositories? The man page only mentions cvs repositories.

I think you could add depends_build port:git-core in the Portfile and cook your own fetch {} phase that uses ${prefix}/ bin/git-* to retrieve the sources. I never tried but I think it should work. HTH Cédric Luthi
