Sourceforge Template (Quick and really really dirty) 1.0

[Gozi]

Lets explain it in examples.

 

We want to download Unetbootin from SF

http://sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin/

 

For this project (and other projects too) the "/files/latest"-link will always redirect you to the latest Release:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin/files/latest

 

Take this link and you can extract the direct link in ketarin, extract the version and what ever you need or like ;-)

 

BUT.....

DO NOT use referer! Or SF will redirect you directly to the binary and Ketarin will show an error!

 

 

Example version 1.0

Do you know of a way to consume a generic version number from these URLs?

[Gozi]

Quick and dirty again! I use the directory name as version number. A good example is Inkscape portable

 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/files/inkscape/0.48/Inkscape_0.48.paf.exe

 

In most cases it´s equal to version number. How ever, for me is that unique enough to be a good version number for the dirty way.

 

Take a look on my 2 templates in the online database (inkscape & inkscape portable). There I use the newest directory for actual release and the extension to get the desired version (portable or exe or zip) and to extract the real version number.

 

Here the portable one

Unfortunately, that method won't work for me on many of my SF sources.

[Gozi]

For example? I´m on a new template for SF and would need some cases.

[shawn]

Anything that uses recursive subfolders, like portableapps or winmerge.

[Gozi]

It should work with my submitted template above (Inkscape Portable), http://sourceforge.net/projects/winmerge/files/stable/ (stable subdirectory for winmerge) and a little adjustment.

Theres a Regex for getting the newest subdirectory, Cd to the Dir an to download the file with the right extension.

With your expertise in Regex , you´ll be able to get the latest release with the wanted extension easily.

 

I´m actually working on a new template with better support for SubDir and a little Wiki with some hints. The first Beta is working. Maybe its ready till weekend.
