I don't understand why we have a repository for getopt when we are not the developers of getopt.Because I'm generating the getopt archive with Travis. This would be more transparent than uploading an archive I built and easier to maintain.I guess I don't understand what that means.
Travis CI would build the archive I need with the recipe at https://github.com/macports/getopt/blob/master/.travis.yml and upload it to Bintray. When testing PRs in macports-ports, Travis CI would download the archive and extract it to use mpbb. We need a repository so that Travis could build the archive for us. When we need to rebuild the getopt archive (e.g. dependency update), we can tag a new release and Travis will upload a new archive to Bintray and then we can update _ci/bootstrap.sh in macports-ports accordingly. If I uploaded an archive I've built myself, others would have to guess how I generated it to change anything in it. -- Best regards, Zero King Don't trust the From address.
