For future reference, instead of this:

Just do this:

SRC_URI="https://github.com/Parchive/par2cmdline/archive/v${VERSION}/par2cmdline-v${VERSION}.tar.gz"

The same goes for retrieving any other tag in GitHub in the form:

https://github.com/PROJECT/REPO/archive/TAG/REPO-TAG.tar.gz

No need to respin though.  GTG.
