Hi,

Fedora has packaged it into official repo, however maintainer sometimes forgets the update so we invent a monitoring tool:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upstream_release_monitoring

However we can't track fossil's update since this project neither has a public download folder can be accessed from public nor has mentioned any tarball link on download page.

The only link to tarball is fossil- , with a lot of numbers. I hope you can:

  1. Since the tarballs are stored in

http://www.fossil-scm.org/download/

like

http://www.fossil-scm.org/download/fossil-src-20140127173344.tar.gz

I hope you can make this dir

http://www.fossil-scm.org/download/fossil-src-20140127173344.tar.gz

public.

  1. Name the tarball in style:

fossil-src-$(VERSION).tar.gz

Okay?

Thanks!

You can construct the URL to pull the version you want, and to name the tar file how you like, by passing the right URL params. See:

[http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/help?cmd=/tarball]

e.g.

/tar/fossil-trunk.tar.gz?uuid=trunk

will cause the file fossil-trunk.tar.gz to be downloaded, and inside the tar the top-level dir will be named fossil-trunk.

or:

/tar/foo.tar.gz?uuid=trunk&name=fossil-trunk

which will name the download foo.tar.gz but will (inside the tar) have a directory name of fossil-trunk.
