I'm the maintainer for security/barnyard2. The software recently
changed so that all distros are pulled from github. The developers
made new commits, and now the port is broken, and I cannot figure
out how to fix it.
Here's the relevant code from the Makefile:
PORTNAME= barnyard2 PORTVERSION= 1.11 CATEGORIES=
security
MAINTAINER= pa...@utdallas.edu COMMENT= Interpreter for
Snort unified2 binary output files
LICENSE= GPLv2
USE_GITHUB= yes GH_ACCOUNT= firnsy GH_PROJECT=
${PORTNAME} GH_TAGNAME= master GH_COMMIT= 4dfdc80
The master tagname apparently gets moved to the new commit every
time the developers commit changes. This is NOT what I want. I
want the port to stay at the release version until a new version is
released.
I've tried everything I can think of to get this port to pull the
commit I want. It does not work. I've tried changing the tagname
to v2-1.11, v2-${PORTVERSION}, stable, dev-next, etc., etc.
Nothing works.
Here's the git site:
<https://github.com/firnsy/barnyard2/commits/master>
If I pull master, I get commit f57e464. That's not what I want.
Why doesn't this thing pull the commit I'm telling it to pull?
I'm so frustrated by this I'm about to drop this port. I do NOT
want to have to update the port every time the developers commit
more code. That is NOT how software should work.
Is there anyone who can tell me how to fix this problem so the port
will remain at the release version until the next version is
released no matter how many commits the developers make?
Hi Paul,
I just changed this line:
GH_TAGNAME= master
to this:
GH_TAGNAME= v2-1.11
and it worked fine.
Thanks, Greg. That is the correct answer.
