[Alistair Crooks <agc%pkgsrc.org@localhost>]

        http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.devel.packages/34226

along with a pointer to the method used in pkgsrc-wip to download from
github, and some accompanying discussion of why it's not considered a
good thing from within pkgsrc itself.

Regards,
Alistair
