Aseprite @1.2.37: Failed to fetch distfiles

[grilled-rare]

I've been trying to install the open-source animation tool Aseprite, but I get the same error even after many trouble-shooting attempts. My Xcode version is 14.2, Build version 14C18, xcode-select version 2395, MacOS version 12.6.5, python version python310. The error reads as follows:

Samuel-Macbook-Air ~ % sudo port install Aseprite

Error: Processing of port Aseprite failed

I went through some old tickets related to the Aseprite port, but did not find anything related to the fetching of distfiles or Processing of the port failing. The log that the error message refers to is attatched to this ticket.

Thanks for reporting this.

A quick workaround is to edit the portfile (sudo port edit Aseprite, or open port file Aseprite in your favorite editor), locate this section:

    system -W ${workpath} "git clone --config advice.detachedHead=false --depth 300\
        --no-checkout https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools"

and remove --depth 300 (but leave the \).

Thank you very much. I made the changes and the rest was smooth.
