        The <application>libnsl</application> source tarball shown above
        downloads with the correct name, libnsl-&libnsl-version;.tar.gz, if
        using a browser such as Firefox. If you prefer to use a command line
        program such as wget, you normally would obtain v&libnsl-version;.tar.gz.
        To obtain this package with the proper filename, run:

<screen><userinput>wget -c https://github.com/thkukuk/libnsl/archive/v&libnsl-version;.tar.gz \
     -O libnsl-&libnsl-version;.tar.gz</userinput></screen>
