For direct links to a specific version of MyBB:

However the link you have above for "latest" refers at all times to the
latest "Stable" release.
We've just moved all development over to git (on github) so you can
always download any exact revision from there.
That's great; I should be able to persuade github to generate a tarball from a
specific tagged revision, which will give me the kind of permanent URL I need.
Is there an "official" MyBB git tree on github?
Sure is: https://github.com/mybb/
Though it doesn't seem like our SVN tree has moved there yet.
So for now you'll likely want to use that, which you can find info on here:

Of course, you're using
MyBB in a production environment, so you really just need the latest
stable link above to always stay up to date with the latest stable.
Out of curiosity, why are you packaging it as an RPM?
It reduces the entropy in the system configuration by an order of magnitude.
Installing the RPM is a one-line command, and ensures that all the file
permissions etc are correct. Apache is automatically reconfigured and
stopped/started as necessary. Upgrading (and downgrading, in the event of a
regression) becomes trivial, with no risk of accidentally leaving the wrong
versions of some files lying around. Files can be included in the system
security audit, which looks for unauthorised modifications. Dependencies are
installed automatically, and protected against accidental removal. I could go
on!

Good reasons all. But MyBB doesn't need Apache to restart or any of
that, which is why I wondered.
I didn't think about the security audits and such though, its a good
point. Hopefully you'll never need to downgrade ;)
