Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))

the documentation ​https://guide.macports.org/#development.creating-portfile

is lacking a decent example of how to create a new portfile from a git repo, HEAD, not a released/stable tarball

  1. there is no indication of how to create a sha256 checksum/hash
  2. there is no indication of how to pass CMAKE macro definitions when there is no configure

forgot to add for item 1. especially if i need to use multiple git commands to pull source from main repo and cherry-pick fromm others or include PRs not merged in master
