Yes, the github portgroup is not documented in the guide. Yes, it should be.

For now, the only documentation for the github portgroup is in comments in the portgroup file itself​.

  • Ticket #55448

    • Property Summary changed from MacPorts guide makes no mention of livecheck built-in functionality for github to Document github portgroup in guide

  • Ticket #55448 – Description

    initial v1  
    11While updating the sysutils/fswatch port, I decided to add the livecheck configuration. I searched the guide (section 5.8) to see whether there was some builtin functionality for github but the only mentions I found are referring to mirror sites (freecode.com, sourceforge.net, /code.google.com). A search came up with the following MacPorts ticket:
    22
    3 https://trac.macports.org/ticket/53940
     3#53940
    44
    55As suggested in this ticket, I tried to simply add the following line to the Portfile and it appears to be working fine:
    66
     7{{{
    78livecheck.url   ${github.homepage}/releases/latest
     9}}}
    810
    911Shouldn't the guide be updated in order to reflect this feature? I believe this is an important feature, given the relevance of Github nowadays.
