I saw you were struggling with obtaining source tarballs from github.
There is a fairly simple trick to do this.
While the "official" URL for a tag is
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/archive/v2.064.2.tar.gz
you can put another patch component after the tag name and before the 
.tar.gz.
So the following will work with github and allows you to name the 
donwloaded file dmd-2.064.2.tar.gz as required by spec.
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/archive/v2.064.2/dmd-2.064.2.tar.gz

They will all redirect you to 
https://codeload.github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/tar.gz/v2.064.2.

Using spectool -R will download a dmd-2.064.2.tar.gz and the archive 
root is also named dmd-2.064.2.
