No, because that updates with no action on our part. If Jack changes an interface, our --download-elemental would fail. We want someone to certify that an upgrade works. > [or the url automatically crated from self.giturls + self.gitcommit . note: > bitbucket appears to use 'get' instead of 'archive'] Yeah, so long as there is nothing special in generating a release tarball.
