Also note you're downloading from the legacy github endpoint. Switch to github.tarball_from archive please, which will change the checksums.

Thank you for letting me know. Weird, but I will fix it.

16. S. I do not want to use a non-default setting for R port, for a reason here: that creates a difficulty when switching between GitHub and CRAN, and turned out that is needed rather frequently.

(Or otherwise we need that line commented out whenever switched to CRAN.)

16. S. I guess, checksums changed due to ​https://github.com/Jarod-Smithy/baygel/issues/6

All ports using the github portgroup should specify github.tarball_from. Not doing so deprecated and I will modify the github portgroup to print a warning for this soon.

I infer from the fact that the URL contains "legacy.tar.gz" that GitHub considers this method old and I suppose they could deprecate and remove it eventually so it would be wise to remove our dependence on it. Its replacement, the "archive" URLs, have been available for many years. "Archive" URLs have the added advantage that you don't get checksum mismatches if the project is transferred to a different owner account, which turns out happens rather frequently.

For any ports hosted at GitHub where the project offers manually-prepared tarballs, those should be used by specifying github.tarball_from releases in the Portfile. This is not something the R or github portgroups could automate for you since it is specific to each project whether or not they offer this.

How about modifying the R portgroup to set github.tarball_from archive when it is using GitHub, and for any existing R port using GitHub, add the line github.tarball_from tarball to them so they continue to work. When each of those ports is updated next, that line can be removed to switch it to the new download URL.

Yes, this can be done.
