> ATM github only has a zip version downloading tar.gz fails so I've rolled my own from the zip file
Err, https://github.com/EUA/wxHexEditor/archive/07f791b4b1a767b1bb214e4ac921019f015d8ea2.tar.gz
> 0.23.20161226git
Why not 0.23+git20161226? That's the version convention I'm sticking to.
If there's a SUSE preference to do differently, then I'll change my ways, but so far I think this is it.
