I generate and upload stable source tarballs under the projects' respective downloads on GitHub. I just realized that the livecheck for these ports is busted. I had to override the defaults by adding the following: {{{ livecheck.url https://github.com/${github.author}/${name}/downloads livecheck.regex ${name}-(\\d+(\\.\\d+)*)[regsub -all \\. ${extract.suffix} \\.] }}} It is understandable that I would have to write my own regex, but it would be nice if {{{ github.tarball_from downloads }}} automatically set {{{livecheck.url}}} to something useful." enhancement closed Normal ports 2.1.2 wontfix anddam ryandesign
