Hi Lorenzo and team,

You obtain a different tarball cloning the master branch github 
repository than downloading the sourceforge tarball. The upstream added 
the file install.sh to sf tarball. I don't believe that is an issue and 
the tarball is surely not damaged.

AFAIK, we cannot use a git repo to monitor releases if upstream don't 
uses tags.

Cheers,

Marcos
