Hi Dale,
Thanks for the very detailed explanation.
I updated the href link to only include the mcz file name. I also took
the opportunity to display a nicer URL and set up a permanent
redirection to the current mc repository folder (else links would be
broken : we must keep only file names, paths prohibited).
Tell me if it is ok.
Christophe,
Everything looks fine. The travis jobs that were failing because of the
packageName issue are now failing because of test issues (you win some,
you lose some:), so I think we are finally out of woods.
Also, I will not reinvent the past but I think It was a mistake to use
an html listing as input for tools. A raw list of files contained in
the Monticello repository would have been better.It is also strange to
use an href link value as the name of the mcz file. If the displayed
text of the link was used, it would have allow to store mcz files at
any place on the web server.
The decision to use html for list packages was a decision made almost 20
years ago, when Avi and Colin first invented Monticello and once code
gets written and people start relying on that code, it gets REAL hard to
change without creating pain for all of the users. This gets even more
complicated when there are multiple, independent sites implemented using
the old scheme.
But anyway, if things work fine now, we are done!
I agree that it looks like we are done and I appreciate your patience
and effort to resolve the issues.
Dale
