Sorry Onno, I should have read more carefully to the end of your email.
I really don't know how SourceForge's "latest" links are supposed to
work. I suppose we could consider something like your suggestion of a
symbolic link like "wsjtx-latest.tgz". In the meantime, you'll need to
work around the need to use a specific version name.

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
<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
<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
<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?
