With github this fortunately is a non-issue. Even though they autogenerate their tar balls, they keep enough information to make them reproduciable. Just try: /tmp>fetch https://github.com/Dieterbe/uzbl/tarball/2011.07.25 2011.07.25 100% of 143 kB 177 kBps /tmp>sha256 2011.07.25 SHA256 (2011.07.25) = 2e61fa6c62e48d3f13e95a4ea7e7aead65345f6c88a688844ef921685dffe565 /tmp>cat /usr/ports/www/uzbl/distinfo SHA256 (uzbl-0.0.0.2011.07.25.tar.gz) = 2e61fa6c62e48d3f13e95a4ea7e7aead65345f6c88a688844ef921685dffe565 SIZE (uzbl-0.0.0.2011.07.25.tar.gz) = 146851 /tmp> There still remain some minor issuses, like * due to autogeneration, you're quite likely to get a http-redirect, * filenames like 2011.07.25 are not too suitable for a distfile. But they certainly can be fixed by an appropriate framework. The nice thing is, github does the autogeneration right.
