Hi Onno,

I'm not sure that I understand your exact problem.  Does this link not work for your purpose?

https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt/files/wsjtx-2.6.0-rc5/wsjtx-2.6.0-rc5.tgz/download

That link works, but if I understood Onno's problem correctly [ probaply not ... ] what he wants is one single URL that would dowload the latest source.tgz version ( without knowing exactly what the version number or name of the package is ).

The problem seems to be that "wget" utility downloads just the windows executable. Funny enough, using browser to access  URL https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt/files/latest DOES return the source.tgz!!

Some clever logic behind sourceforge server I guess..

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?
