Hi Alex,

one method I use to fetch 'quasi-release' version from github is like this:

USE_GITHUB=
GH_ACCOUNT=     githubname
GH_COMMIT=      [first seven digits of commit number]
GH_TAGNAME=     ${GH_COMMIT}


You will find more ports using this technique with

find . -name Makefile -depth 3 -exec grep -l -e "GITHUB" {} \;

Please, look into there Makefile to get some ideas.

Hope this helps,
Rainer
