The porter's handbook talks about how to fetch git repos from github but not about how to get them from sourceforge. I've tried a few things but can't get the right combo of MASTER_SITES and PORTNAME, DISTFILE, and DISTVERSION The git clone cmd is: git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/nufraw/git nufraw-git This particular git version says it is 0.41 but attempting to fetch with from PORTVERSION=0.41 MASTER_SITES= https://sourceforge.net/projects/nufraw/files/latest/ doesn't work; PORTVERSION= 0.40 does. I've also tried with DISTVERSION= 07ebb73a with no joy. Many thanks to Jeremy Chadwick for guidance. Appropriate values for the above example are: DISTVERSION= 0.41 MASTER_SITES= SOURCEFORGE/nufraw Please use just SF instead, this is the way it is used in practice: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-distfiles.html#makefile-master_sites-popular I guess you didn't read The 'FreeBSD Porter's Handbook' yet. :) Actually, I did, more than once. Because of the problem caused by having a mis-matched distinfo lying around I assumed (erroneously) that SF didn't work and started trying other things. The handbook explicitly mentions one might have to do this. A problem also encountered while searching for a solution was a stale distinfo left over from using the 0.40 version; moving it aside allowed the fetch to complete. Apparently the distinfo file is checked during the fetch process if it exists, not just at extract time. Please don't do that, run 'make makesum' instead. I know to do that and had all ready done so with the 0.40 version, which was why the stale distinfo was lying around. This whole thread came up because I couldn't get a good fetch to do a make makesum with because a stale distinfo was lying around. Do not forget to run 'portlint -AC' and 'poudriere testport ...' before opening a PR! ;) the portlint part is easy, poudriere not so easy if if it's not what one uses normally.
