The most recent version of rebar is hosted on github: ​https://github.com/basho/rebar

The version on bitbucket seems to be outdated.

Version from bitbucket is no longer available. I'll attach an updated Portfile that works for me.

Diff for port with change to github and a new version number

[cal@…]

Note that pulling from whatever master is at the time of pulling is usually not how we handle packaging git sources, since we aim for reproducible builds. Please add a suitable commit-ish as specified by the git manual as "git.branch <commitish>" to the Portfile.

You can also simplify your effort by using the recently created github portgroup trunk/dports/_resources/port1.0/group/github-1.0.tcl:

github.setup basho rebar <commitish>

# github.setup sets version to it's third argument, but sha1 hashes aren't strictly increasing and thus can't be used as version
version <some version number, which should be always increasing, e.g. date +%Y-%m-%d>

and instead you can drop name, homepage, fetch.*, git.* and you automatically get livecheck. Also consider using the tag RELEASE-1.

Added a commit id for reproducable builds

[mail@…]

The tag RELEASE-1 is very old (18.12.2009), so it is not a good idea to take that tag :(. I have added the current commit id and i will check from time to time, if there is a newer version available, test it and add a new ticket with the diff.

That was the reason, why i took the master.
