myrepos @1.20150503 fetch failed

[martin.kuehl@…]

Fetching the current archive fails. See attached log.

Note that it tries to fetch from what I think is the master location as defined by the github port group:
​https://github.com/joeyh/myrepos/releases/download/1.20150503/myrepos-1.20150503.tar.gz
which doesn't exist.

There is a source tarball available at
​https://github.com/joeyh/myrepos/archive/1.20150503.tar.gz
but it has a different checksum.

The corresponding release page is ​https://github.com/joeyh/myrepos/releases/tag/1.20150503

In the future, please use WikiFormatting, fill in the Port field and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers myrepos), if any.

Setup tarball URL manually, since github 1.0 group doesn't support(?)

[nottwo (Trannie Carter)]

Sorry for breaking the port. I'm not sure how I managed to get it to install for me locally.

It's possible to formally create a Release that gets a URL of the form ​http://github.com/$account/$repo/releases/download/${tag_prefix}${tag}.tar.gz

Tags automatically get put into Releases with download URLs of the form ​http://github.com/account/repo/archive/${tag_prefix}${tag}.$suffix

Repository archives of commits and tags are also available to download from ​http://gihtub.com/$account/$repo/tarball/${tag_prefix}${tag}

The archive downloaded from a tag autorelease has a different checksum than a tag tarball due to their having different containing folder names.

I've dropped the "github.from_tarball releases" so it uses the default 'grab from tag' logic and updated the checksums.

I'm not sure either... was there maybe a release uploaded at the time, but the developer has since removed it?

Thanks!

I'm seeing the same problem with vcsh @1.20150502_0, should I open another ticket for that?

log failing to fetch vcsh @1.20150502_0

[nottwo (Trannie Carter)]

Yes, same problem.

vcsh also has the issue where make all runs the tests which require some Perl modules, some of which aren't packaged by Macports.

On top of that, my Macports git doesn't create .git/branches, which the vcsh tests assume.

vcsh upstream is considering both of those issues.

I've fixed things for us in r137333 & r137334.
