Well ffmpeg does it a bit of a weird convoluted way, because it
wants to pin down the version of an external definition in ffmpeg's
repository and they haven't done so themselves in the repository
like they should.
The simpler way to fetch source from Subversion is to just use the
keywords MacPorts gives you for that purpose. See the pure-devel
port for an example of that.
Is using svn.url + svn.tag a recommended approach now? I seem to
remember it being discouraged and that a local distfile should be made
instead, but maybe that was changed when we dropped support for
versions of OS X without a system svn client?
Thanks,
