Hi Mufti,

I went to https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenSubdiv and there *are*
revisions - latest is 3.4.0.

If you click on RELEASES you get offerred OpenSubdiv-3_4_0.tar.gz (somewhat
preferred over the zip file).

The URL to get it is
https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenSubdiv/archive/v3_4_0.tar.gz

Cheers ... Duncan.
