I have to admit that I didn't try... so I looked at the blog post again and I see that that was the old URL that they're supposed to be taking down. The correct URL doesn't work. The right one fails. I had a thought that it might be the presence of a "trunk" branch, so I changed "trunk" to "master" in my own Github repo (github.com/Gnucash/gnucash). No joy. I've sent a support request.
