This is the wrong way. master.zip is the moving target. If somebody commit something, then master.zip will be different and distinfo will not match. You need to fetch exact revision from github. You may clone this repo and make new release on github in your repo. Or you can fetch master.zip, rename it to something useful and upload somewehere where your Makefile can fetch it.
