#16373: svn git and hg fetch type should maintain a persistent working copy ---------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts Future Component: base | Version: 1.7.0 Resolution: | Keywords: performance fetch Port: | ---------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by snc@…): Replying to [comment:14 mojca@…]:
I would also suggest to add/check the SHA sum of the commit (even when dealing with tags) just to be on the safe side.
Using commitish over tags is helpful and uniform.
Once that gets implemented – how would you handle GitHub and BitBucket from that point on? And how would you handle situations when the servers go offline? Would you mirror the bare repository on one of MacPorts servers? (This is of course less important.)
There's no need to mirror their repositories. The authors can easily host it elsewhere and we simply update the portfile. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/16373#comment:15> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
