Add latest rev_number available as weekly bundle in a file.

[GAZ082]

Hello. Working in an update script to check and download the latest weekly bundle and found that the freecad_version.txt picks up the latest commit, which not necessarily is the commit of the latest weekly bundle.

Would be handy to have a file named like "freecad_latest_weekly_version.txt" with the latest revision available as bundle.

Thanks!

do you need the commit hash? the bundle name includes the revision number, you could just query that

Hey Adrián,

I'm using the rev number, but the thing is, the freecad_version.txt file gets updated hours before the new build.

See for example now, we are already in 37086:

rev_number: 37086 (Git)
branch_name: main
commit_date: 2024/05/02 06:09:39
commit_hash: 368b91e0358dafbf17bf0c133dbff00343fd3422
remote_url: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD main

and the latest build has the rev 37083, for example: FreeCAD_weekly-builds-37083-conda-Linux-x86_64-py311.AppImage]

So either sync the freecad_version.txt with the build time or have a new file with the latest revision that has a build.

you'll notice there is a source package along side the binary builds, freecad_version.txt has information about the source package not the binary builds. The source package is updated very frequently while the binaries are updated normally twice a week.

My question is, why do you need to parse a txt? why not just use the revision number form the file name?

are you aware of github's API? for example you could parse https://api.github.com/repos/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Bundle/releases/tags/weekly-builds to get the available revision number
