Big thanks for the thoughtful reply, Ricky!
That's great to know!
I just now managed to figure out a solution. My problem was that I
*needed* the latest commit, but couldn't rely on the MASTER branch
(for obvious reasons). So, even though it was "technically" 2.0,
there was no 2.0 TAG. So I needed that specific COMMIT. So I
ended up using the following:
PORTVERSION= 2.0
DISTNAME= ${GH_ACCOUNT}-${GH_PROJECT}-${PORTVERSION}-${GH_COMMIT}
USE_GITHUB= yes
GH_ACCOUNT= yadda-yadda
GH_PROJECT= project-name
GH_COMMIT= 95f841f
GH_TAGNAME= ${GH_COMMIT}
Followed by a
# make checksum
to get all the missing bits -- and I was golden! :-)
Thanks again, Ricky!
