Thanks for the link, I have read it with great interest. The conclusion
is supporting the interpretation that a porter should always use the
release tarball if one is available. Makes a lot of sense to me. This
should be stated more clearly in the Porter's Handbook with a sentence
or two to that effect, accompanied by an example that would probably
look a lot like the second one of my examples:
MASTER_SITES=
https://github.com/dirkvdb/${PORTNAME}/releases/download/${PORTVERSION}/
Going forward, I'll not be using the GH_ACCOUNT variable in constructing
a MASTER_SITES string.
Regards,
Marcel
