Hi all, revisiting the Github tarball 'content disposition' problem.
While manually tweaking the tarball url to
https://github.com/DEVELOPER/PRGNAM/archive/refs/tags/vVERSION/PRGNAM-VERSION.tar.gz
works, I have a case where the devs use underscores instead of dots and I
cannot seem to get a workable url with the above.
The result is that using wget or in my case python's urllib.request I get
a truncated tarball name, whereas downloading with firefox will retrieve
the full name.
Before I dive into how to manually fix the url or fool with content
disposition, what about using some variant of this in the slackbuild:
tar xvf $CWD/$SRCNAM-$VERSION.tar.gz || tar xvf $CWD/$VERSION.tar.gz
This means I can copy paste the Github tarball url into the *.info file,
and it matters not how the user downloads it.
Thoughts?
