Hi Alex,
one method I use to fetch 'quasi-release' version from github is like this:
USE_GITHUB=
GH_ACCOUNT= githubname
GH_COMMIT= [first seven digits of commit number]
GH_TAGNAME= ${GH_COMMIT}
You will find more ports using this technique with
find . -name Makefile -depth 3 -exec grep -l -e "GITHUB" {} \;
Please, look into there Makefile to get some ideas.
Hope this helps,
Rainer
