Hi all, Before I consider this rockspec to be final I'd like to clear up an issue about the stability of direct tarball downloads from github
Here is the relevant source section:
source = {
dir = "timn-lua-xmlrpc-77956f4",
url = "http://download.github.com/timn-lua-xmlrpc-v1.2.1-0-g23a0455.tar.gz";,
-- this doesn't work through LR's proxy download (wget works)
-- url = "http://github.com/timn/lua-xmlrpc/tarball/v1.2.1";
}
Now, the canonical tarball download against the tag is fine, except if
you're using LR's proxy. From wget I worked out the final redirected
download url; that worked.
But this morning, I got a 404; after a wget on the canonical url,
thereafter things worked again.
Which suggests that the direct link is to a file which is not cached
for very long?
However, at least the directory name within the archive is stable ....
I suppose that's the point of source rocks. Any advice from people
who have been here before?
steve d.
PS. I just got a most entertaining 'github is offline' page showing a
very angry unicorn.
