#37130: github portgroup: github.tarball_from downloads should set livecheck.url -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: aronnax@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------+-------------------------------- I maintain a pair of ports, gst-plugins-cairovis and gst-plugins-math, which are hosted on GitHub (and of which I am the author). I generate and upload stable source tarballs under the projects' respective downloads on GitHub. I just realized that the livecheck for these ports is busted. I had to override the defaults by adding the following: {{{ livecheck.url https://github.com/${github.author}/${name}/downloads livecheck.regex ${name}-(\\d+(\\.\\d+)*)[regsub -all \\. ${extract.suffix} \\.] }}} It is understandable that I would have to write my own regex, but it would be nice if {{{ github.tarball_from downloads }}} automatically set {{{livecheck.url}}} to something useful. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37130> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
