Changes between Initial Version and Version 1 of Ticket #62218, comment 2

initial	v1
3	3	In [b88ae2fe8a89f10d7548dcd5798c667cc8c19768/macports-ports] the port's `master_sites` were switched from ftp.netperf.org to GitHub to fix #55803. As a result of this, we mirrored the file in 2018.

5		The problem was introduced by [6935f6ab1cf8b99c9ca0cdaa2f8d03a5566b4e73/macports-ports] in which the `master_sites` referring to GitHub archives was removed. This effectively changed which file the port downloads (from "archive" type to "tarball" type) thereby changing the cbecksums of the file. (This commit also removed a comment I had added explaining that this line should be removed with the next version update. This commit was not a version update, therefore the line should not have been removed at that time.)

7	7	I recommend adding `github.tarball_from archive`, which is the current equivalent of what the port had been specifying manually before by overriding `master_sites`. I'll make this change momentarily.
