I'm working on updating the graphviz portfile.

Huh, I thought an update had already been submitted months ago.


No, as per discussion on the ticket:

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/62165

(I see you made more comments there, but providing the URL in case others are interested)


The new download link is:

https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/-/package_files/8183714/download

I can get Macports to download it by using:

master_sites  https://gitlab.com/${name}/${name}/-/package_files/8183714
distfiles     download

But the download source file is named "download". How do I rename it to the proper source 
file name "graphviz-2.47.0.tar.gz"? Forgive me if it is obvious, but I couldn't find this 
information in the documentation or an example in another Portfile.

https://trac.macports.org/wiki/PortfileRecipes#fetchwithgetparams

However, I would expect that using the gitlab portgroup would set up the 
correct download URLs for you automatically. If it does not, improve the gitlab 
portgroup since this need is not unique to the graphviz port.


From what I can tell, Graphviz (upstream) is not releasing their "preferred" source package in a gitlab-typical way. Since the homepage is also different, I was not going to use the gitlab portgroup.

I have previously observed that the github portgroup does rename the download file from a differently named download link (e.g., `v1.0.tar.gz` to `projectname-1.0.tar.gz`). I looked at the github portgroup source code and could not figure out how it does it. That is why I am asking on the list for help.

Thanks,
Jonathan
