I'm getting a different hash when downloading this:

@ build-failed /gnu/store/b4s6pjp7pvwn5028zxm7dn7hxb7akhxn-Open_Data.zip.drv - 
1 output path `/gnu/store/kv2291fl8p8r3ic15pp68751qncrv830-Open_Data.zip' 
should have sha256 hash `1kyfrwamr8zpdp4qw3z9j3cimhsvr4xd05dmxmfphiknlbr6d455', 
instead has `02kb3bwjrra0k2hlr2p8xswd2y0xs6j8d9vm6yrby734h02a40qf'

Maybe I'm getting a newer version? If this is updated in-place upstream
very frequently, it would be good to have a way to access older
downloads. Any ideas?

Minor nit-picks follow, but I've corrected this in my local branch:

I've changes this to use (assoc-ref outputs "out") instead of the
magical %output.

And added a #t at the end here, since the return value of "install-file"
is unspecified.

Thanks a lot for packaging these!
