If the package you wish to add does have a release section on GitHub, the
maintainer may have uploaded a release tarball, or the release may just point
to the automatically generated tarball from the git tag. If there is a
release tarball uploaded by the maintainer, we prefer to use that since it
may be slightly different (e.g. it contains a configure script so we don't
need to do AUTORECONF).
You can see on the release page if it's an uploaded tarball or a git tag:
- If there is a green download button, like
https://github.com/zedshaw/mongrel2/releases/tag/v1.9.1[mongrel2], then it
was uploaded by the maintainer and you should use the link of that button to
specify +FOO_SITE+.
- If there is grey download button, like
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/releases/tag/13.2-Gotham[xbmc], then it's an
automatically generated tarball and you should use the 'github' helper
function.
