per policy, you're going to be fetching a fixed branch/tag/revision anyway (so builds are reproducible). If upstream can't be bothered to make releases - it's still best if someone does that for them (and generates a 'stable' tarball of some sort any time that that makes sense). If you don't have a place where you can put the tarball, MacPorts can host it. If the current procedure for having us host a tarball is too onerous, then we should fix our procedure. A normal distfile is highly prefered to fetching from revision control (they are checksummed, they are mirrored by our distfile mirrors, fetching them is proxy friendly, etc.) -- Daniel J.
