It looks like someone just took some source snapshot (maybe from upstream CVS), imported it into a Git repository, and pushed it to GitHub. There is no history attached to it, so it could also contain other modifications. Definitely not a maintained version, so it should not be used. > Github version is just code files and does not contain files for Unix > build which was part of the tarball created > by Alvarez. > > Digging into the issue I came across a very old ticket for aacgain > reported by Ryan at https://trac.macports.org/ticket/25942. > > Looks like someone had created the tarball for 1.9 and hosted it one > their own website since 'Alvarez' didn't create the > official 1.9 tarball yet. But the port was never updated. Option a: Leave it at version 1.8 Option b: Update to a "CVS" snapshot The repository was converted to git, the tag would be R1_9: https://sourceforge.net/p/mp3gain/code/ci/R1_9/tree/ Rainer
