Hans-Christoph Steiner e826938734 static URLs to "Current Version" of each app ... I wrote up the feature to automatically generate symlinks with a constant name that points to the current release version. I have it on by default, with a *config.py* option to turn it off. There is also an option to set where the symlink name comes from which defaults to app['Name'] i.e. F-Droid.apk, but can easily be set to app['id'], i.e. _org.fdroid.fdroid.apk_. I think the best place for the symlinks is in the root of the repo, so like https://f-droid.org/F-Droid.apk or https://guardianproject.info/fdroid/ChatSecure.apk For the case of the current FDroid static link https://f-droid.org/FDroid.apk it can just be a symlink to the generated one (https://f-droid.org/F-Droid.apk or https://f-droid.org/org.fdroid.fdroid.apk). Right now, this feature is all or nothing, meaning it generates symlinks for all apps in the repo, or none. I can’t think of any problems that this might cause since its only symlinks, so the amount of disk space is tiny. Also, I think it would be useful for having an easy “Download this app” button on each app’s page on the “Browse” view. As long as this button is less prominent than the “Download F-Droid” button, and it is clear that it is better to use the FDroid app than doing direct downloads. For the f-droid.org repo, the symlinks should probably be based on app['id'] to prevent name conflicts. more info here: https://f-droid.org/forums/topic/static-urls-to-current-version-of-each-app/		2014-11-11 15:06:52 +01:00
