the given path has multiple possibilities: #<Git::Ref:0x00007f8c81ad5bf0>, #<Git::Ref:0x00007f8c81ad5650>%     

I don't understand how GitHub resolves :user/:project/archive/:tag/:tarball but it seems that something has changed so that the URL currently constructed for the github.tarball_from archive case is ambiguous for this project/release.

Looking at the links shown on the GitHub web interface, I find that customizing the URL to add refs/tags allows us to resolve the original file for which we have checksums: github.master_sites ${github.homepage}/archive/refs/tags/${git.branch}

I'm not sure what the right thing to do here is. It seems like we could be forming more specific master_sites URLs.

CCing Ryan Schmidt because he added github.tarball_from archive in the v1.1 update of the portfile.

Then I suppose you'll want to change the github portgroup to use those more specific URLs, after verifying that it does not break other ports that use the portgroup.

Elsewhere I've read this can happen if a project has both a tag and a branch with the same name, as is indeed the case here for libpostal and v1.1. When designing the github portgroup I was not aware that the URL I was using would also match branches; I assumed it would only use tags, and using a branch would be wrong in a Portfile as that would not be reproducible if commits are made to that branch later. If adding refs/tags to the URL ensures that it only matches tags, then that would seem to be the right fix to make to the portgroup. Please also check the URLs of the older tarball type, not just the archive type, to see if they need and can accommodate a similar fix.

Ah, that makes sense. I didn't notice the branch.

Then I suppose you'll want to change the github portgroup to use those more specific URLs, after verifying that it does not break other ports that use the portgroup.

This is way beyond what I'm able to offer at the moment. Changing this port to github.tarball_from tarball and bumping the checksums is my limit for the time being.
