Even the download url always stays the same: https://github.com/kimholviala/gophernicus/archive/master.zip
Github will usually automake releases when a new tag is created. I'm just thinking about the slackware package maintainer: slackbuilds.org will *only* accept a definite version number for source tarballs. They won't entertain downloading master.zip or such, because it isn't stuck to one version that has been tested and is known to work with the current slackware release. The way around it is to grab master.zip, version it, and self-host it somewhere. I've had to do this with a few things, but not all maintainers have personal ftp space etc. to do this.
Although now that I think about it the zip format messes up the execute-bits on scripts... I might need to test & possibly fix that. - Kim
