Hosting compiled scripts #89

Open hoppfrosch opened 8 years ago

hoppfrosch commented 8 years ago

As a followup of #88:

As a solution to avoid dead links on source or exe, @hi5 suggested:

host such compiled scripts as "releases" of this repo or a new for this purpose setup repo (Awesome-AutoHotkey-binaries) :question: that way the link(s) will always work unless GH goes bankrupt in which case we have other problems

What do you think about this idea?

hoppfrosch commented 8 years ago

I'm ambivalent about this:

Pro: As @hi5 said, the link will always work - we may not loose any things we referenced to ...

Contra:

hi5 commented 8 years ago

I agree regarding copyright etc. I would mostly be useful for material that is truly "lost" for example the Sparrow webserver, it is not available on ahk . net or ahk . com

The decompiler Gist is a script, so in principle that would run as is anyway so there is not actually a need for hosting a compiled version.

sparrow-0.1.3.zip

hoppfrosch commented 8 years ago

What about the attached Sparrow-Zip file? Should an entry be generated for this? Please open a new issue for this, providing the needed info (forum thread, historical or actual? ...)

hi5 commented 8 years ago

Sparrow is already listed in Historical, the link to ge.tt is still working but like the decompiler that might end some day.

joedf commented 8 years ago

yeah... all my files from ge.tt, my "AutoHotkey Scripts Archive" was deleted due to a "virus" detected... :dizzy_face: Anyhow, I have them now here: https://autohotkey.com/joe_df/autohotkey_scripts_archive/
