Comment:

 If you're going to use a release download, instead of an automatically
 generated tarball, set:

 {{{
 github.tarball_from releases
 }}}

 This and other instructions for using the github portgroup are at the top
 of the [browser:trunk/dports/_resources/port1.0/group/github-1.0.tcl
 github portgroup file].

 However, this particular file appears to be a pre-compiled binary for a
 specific version of OS X and a specific processor. MacPorts runs on many
 versions of OS X and many types of processor, so we would prefer ports
 that build from source.
