If you use:
https://codeload.github.com/ninja-build/ninja/tar.gz/v1.8.2
...Github sends a Content-Disposition header with a more appropriate filename,
such as ninja-1.8.2.tar.gz. wget can handle this with the --content-
disposition option.
I tried downloading the wget-list for 8.3-rc2 (with the Ninja URL replaced by
the one above) using this command:
wget --input-file=wget-list --continue --content-disposition
None of the other filenames changed (presumably, no one else is sending a
Content-Disposition header, or if they are, it matches the filename in the
URL). Ninja was downloaded as ninja-1.8.2.tar.gz.
This does work, but is certainly not optimal. From the man page:
--content-disposition
If this is set to on, experimental (not fully-functional) support
for "Content-Disposition" headers is enabled. This can currently result
in extra round-trips to the server for a "HEAD" request, and is known to
suffer from a few bugs, which is why it is not currently enabled by default.
I suspect most users will not know about this option.
I see two options for us:
1. Host the tarball on anduin and point to that. We also need to add a
note to the packages page about where the original is located. I have
already copied the tarball to http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/LFS/
2. Ask upstream to provide a properly named tarball. Done, issue
#1461. https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/issues/1461
