I'm writing a gentoo ebuild for python-whiteboard source code for wiidea project. starting from 0.9.4 version, source code are available from a https address: https://github.com/pnegre/python-whiteboard/tarball/master this is annoyng for gentoo ebuilds, because force to set a fetch limitations in the ebuild.

instead, the real address of current python-whiteboard source is a http address: http://download.github.com/pnegre-python-whiteboard-da2c90b.tar.gz which works whitout https, but the arbitrary extension (da2c90b) is not beautifull to use, in a automatic ebuilds.

is it possible to fetch source tarball at an address similar to http://download.github.com/pnegre-${PN}_${PV}.tar.gz ?

Hi!

Sorry for the late answer.

This is a github thing. I didn't change anything. I see that the way that downloads are handled has changed.

I don't know how to address this issue. As I don't know much about gentoo, I can't understand why it's hard to fetch the https address.

If you have any suggestion to make this work the way you want it, let me know.

Maybe you can use this little snippet:

(git clone git://github.com/pnegre/python-whiteboard.git; cd python-whiteboard; git archive -o ../latest.zip HEAD; cd ..; rm -rf python-whiteboard/)
