The recipe recently changed from using tarballs to using git. There was a reason for it although offhand, I don't remember what it was. I think it was mentioned on the list. I just looked at the commit and sadly it wasn't mentioned there (it should have been). It would be good to decide which approach the recipe should be using and stick with that...
