 Hi,
 
 > Per the changes made by Tobias Nygren tnn@ for a better handling of sources/releases hosted on github, I'm sending a patch to comply with this new fetch phase.
 
 Thank you for the patch.
 I think it will be OK to slowly fix these as we go along and update packages to
 avoid a large rototil.
 (There are 200 odd packages in pkgsrc and 100 or so in wip that use github, all
 with slightly different methods of handling the inconsistent distfile naming.)

 I have noted this in the TODO file for pkglint but am unfortunately not familiar with the code. Hopefully someone will fix it, otherwise I will have a look later.
 
 Cheers,
