If you can avoid it, it'd be better in the long run. Does your github project have the 'zip' download link? I just checked one that I keep an eye on and found: https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/zipball/stable/v2.21 That would break down to: https://github.com/$(GITHUB_USER)/$(GARNAME)/zipball/$(GITHUB_BRANCH) If you define the GITHUB_* variables in your recipe, GAR could easily be extended to have something like: MASTERSITES += $(GITHUB_SITES) to match SF_MIRRORS, GNU_MIRRORS, etc that do essentially the same thing albeit with fewer variables in most cases. We're going to run into this more and more often, I suspect so it wouldn't hurt to spend the effort. Thoughts?
