Any ideas for a standard way to handle sf git snapshots ? Move them to github. Seriously. Sourceforge has been playing various games to avoid accessing content without going through their adveritising functions since they were first founded, and I've found no reason to work with any project hosted there since..... checking old notes, not since 2009. > Is the provided URL (which goes stale quickly, yet is re-generate-able) OK ? If it goes stale quickly, I'd consider it useless. Git was not designed to support magical dancing URL's, that kind of instability takes actual planning and work to inflict on the software repository and on its users.. -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
