official source tarball (NOT git)

RE: official source tarball (NOT git)
Thank you. This is great. I would suggest giving the distfile a name with the version, like ppsspp-src-0.31.tar.gz to distinguish between versions. Source-based package systems like pkgsrc and FreeBSD's ports keep distinfo files for package distfiles and patches. They look like this (for VBA-M):

http://cvsweb.se.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/bsdw...xt%2Fplain
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/emu...iew=markup

As you can see, there are checksums for the distfiles which would change which each version. However, if you just replaced the distfile, this would cause a checksum mismatch and the build would stop. The package maintainers would contact you asking for an explanation of why the checksum had changed. This is to prevent an attack vector for trojans. If you version the distfile as shown above, this won't happen. The distinfo will just get updated when a new version is released.

Here's the build log of ppsspp-0.31:

I'll be happy to test any patches before the next version of ppsspp is released.
