Right you are. Thanks.
So, the user's options seem to be to use wget, and note that it will
unpack to a very long and ugly directory name, or use a browser and
get the same name in the tarball. The joys of github.
I've no idea how best to phrase that, and I'm hoping to go to bed so
I don't think I'll have anything to add re phraseology.
Meanwhile I've got a weird local problem with my libreoffice script:
it claims to have added --disable-skia to the build, but the log
from autogen suggests it has instead added my old --enable-lto (had
that originally, supposedly replaced it by --disable-skia).
Meanwhile, it has been building for something like an hour and a
quarter - previous attempts failed quickly when clang hit my
-fstack-clash-protection, so I'm hopeful but perplexed.
