Use of GH_ACCOUNT variable

[Marcel Bischoff]

Thanks for the link, I have read it with great interest. The conclusion 
is supporting the interpretation that a porter should always use the 
release tarball if one is available. Makes a lot of sense to me. This 
should be stated more clearly in the Porter's Handbook with a sentence 
or two to that effect, accompanied by an example that would probably 
look a lot like the second one of my examples:

MASTER_SITES=	https://github.com/dirkvdb/${PORTNAME}/releases/download/${PORTVERSION}/

Going forward, I'll not be using the GH_ACCOUNT variable in constructing 
a MASTER_SITES string.

Regards,
Marcel
