True, but the name of the tarball/zip is not fixed but derived from the artefact ID. The list of releases can be fetched with this URL: http://www.sqlite.org/cgi/src/timeline?t=release The first link leads to the checkin of the most recent release, with tarball and zip hyperlinks. The html is not that hard to parse, the [CDATA[...]] blocks are handy. There may be easier ways though... -- Groet, Cordialement, Pozdrawiam, Regards, Kees Nuyt _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
