PKGNAME=        ${PYPKGPREFIX}-fail2ban
DISTNAME=       fail2ban-fail2ban-sdist-0.8.5-0-g6c07999
MASTER_SITES=
-http://nodeload.github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/tarball/sdist/0.8.5
#note -http
WRKSRC=         ${WRKDIR}/fail2ban-fail2ban-4f733aa
#had to set wrksrc because the tar name does not seem to match the distname

while ${TEST} $# -gt 0; do
        site="$1"; shift
        case "$site" in
        -*)
                url=${site#-}
                ;;
        *)
                url=$site$file
                ;;
        esac
