Take into account that if tag has prefix, BR generates tarball with 
weird name.
For instance for libcec:
tag: libcec-2.1.1
LIBCEC_VERSION = libcec-2.1.1
LIBCEC_SITE = 
https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/libcec/tarball/$(LIBCEC_VERSION)
tarball name downloaded by BR: libcec-libcec-2.1.1.tar.gz

but when
LIBCEC_VERSION = 2.1.1
LIBCEC_SITE = 
https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/libcec/tarball/libcec-$(LIBCEC_VERSION)
the tarball name generated by github matches the one from BR: 
libcec-2.1.1.tar.gz

Additionally there are a few packages in BR with that approach,
e.g. civetweb, mongrel2, sqlcipher


Regards,
Jerzy
