Having spent several days attempting to find the answer in the
documentation and the sourceforge HowTo information, I'm stuck.

Is there a static link to the latest version of the source .tgz file, so I
can automate the compilation of the latest released version under Linux?


According to the sourceforge documentation the link to the latest version
is:

   - https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt/files/latest

Unfortunately that link only ever returns a Windows .exe file when using
wget. I've not been able to discover a way to provide either URL options or
tweak the user-agent of my wget command, to actually ever get the .tgz file.


Although I can download a specific version using version numbers like this,
this means that the URL is hard-coded and version dependent which defeats
the purpose of what I'm working on:

   -
   
https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/wsjt/wsjtx-2.6.0-rc5/wsjtx-2.6.0-rc5.tgz


I can clone it with git, which takes a long time, even at depth=1, but that
requires another separate clone and build for hamlib. This works, mostly,
but it means that I'm not actually testing the latest source code .tgz file:

   - git clone --progress --depth 1 https://git.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjtx


Is there a symbolic link to the latest version, cunningly named something
like "wsjtx-latest.tgz" which doesn't change between versions?
