Make using github releases easier

The "v" here isn't a common place. The "dummy" stuff isn't needed.

IMHO, this should be:

${GH_ACCOUNT}/${GH_PROJECT}/archive/${DISTNAME}

Or may be:

${GH_ACCOUNT}/${GH_PROJECT}/archive/${GH_TAG}

not sure

I would rather use

${DISTVERSIONPREFIX}${DISTVERSION:C/:(.)/\1/g}${DISTVERSIONSUFFIX}${EXTRACT_SUFX}

like how it is defined in DISTNAME
So that for the v is becomes a simple DISTVERSIONPREFIX=v like it should be

In my experience, the dummy stuff is needed. Can you explain more why you think it isn't?

I like copying the DISTNAME bit, but had to make some further changes to get it working. Will post updated diff.

I removed this in r381648. I wanted to mention though that all of the DIST stuff here is not needed. Everything before ?dummy is what we're telling github is the tag we want to fetch. The fetching automatically adds DISTNAME after the MASTER_SITE URL, hence the ?dummy=/. This will fetch the file as DISTNAME. You can see this here:

~/svn/ports.commit/ports-mgmt/poudriere-devel # make fetch-urlall-list|grep github
https://codeload.github.com/freebsd/poudriere/tar.gz/80b7167?dummy=/freebsd-poudriere-3.1.99.20150319-80b7167.tar.gz

So DISTNAME is already used.

I do see the benefit in this now. I am moving it to GH_TAGNAME?= ${DISTVERSION} instead though.
