I can see why they're doing it as well. Some people have different preferences to grab the repo. I have a script running on one of my linux boxes that checks periodically (Once a week? Once a month? I can't remember) for all links on the SQLite download page. If I don't have the URL or file sitting locally, I download it.
"Eventually" I'm going to automate a process to - Automatically upload the amalgamation source code into my VCS (Which no one uses anymore, I can't get hold of the original developers to see if I can have the source code, and the VCS is 100% Win32) - compile the amalgamation and upload the DLL to the VCS I'm sure there are services out there that has ties directly into github and/or sourceforge that'll do certain requests to do automatic "stuff" with whatever has changed. I think Jenkins has some kind of tie in, but I've never used it directly. On Wed, Jun 3, 2015 at 4:52 PM, Simon Slavin <slavins at bigfraud.org> wrote: > > Don't worry about it.
