i wish that were true.  It might be for developers, but it's not for me.

I would think so too, however...

Here's my Makefile:

# cat Makefile
# $FreeBSD$

PORTNAME=       cif
PORTVERSION=    1.0.2
MASTER_SITES=	GH GHC

USE_GITHUB=	yes
GH_ACCOUNT=	collectiveintel
GH_PROJECT=	cif-v1
GH_TAGNAME=	libcif-v${PORTVERSION}-FINAL
GH_COMMIT=	d86ca6c

#https://github.com/collectiveintel/cif-v1/releases/download/v1.0.2-FINAL/libcif-v1.0.2-FINAL.tar.gz

HAS_CONFIGURE=	yes
CONFIGURE_ARGS=	--prefix=${STAGEDIR}/${PREFIX}

.include <bsd.port.mk>

The commented out url is what I want to pull down.  The TAGNAME does not do 
that.  If I call the url MASTER_SITES it works fine, but that's obviously 
not the right way to do it.

I don't understand how to get these macros to do what I need.

Obviously it's not descending into the releases/download folder to find the 
tarball.  The question is, why isn't it, and how do I get it to do that?
