Re: Use of GH_ACCOUNT variable

[Marcel Bischoff]

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

I'd like to know if I missed something, if there is some unwritten 
understanding on how to do this properly or if this is simply such a 
small stylistic choice that it's up to whoever maintains or updates 
the port. In case neither of the before apply, I'd like to encourage 
agreeing on an official style that gets documented with an example.
