Create AxureRP.download.recipe #10

Closed poundbangbash closed 8 years ago

Created new AxureRP download recipe due to Axure rebranding and version change.

poundbangbash commented 8 years ago

Looks like Axure has changed their SKUs and now have one unified download that unlocks features based on the license used. The "Standard" moniker is no more. The Application name itself has changed to "Axure RP 8.app". See http://www.axure.com/c/blog/ and http://www.axure.com/c/blog/186-announcing-axure-rp-8-pricing-product-lineup.html

The new download URL is unified at https://axure.cachefly.net/AxureRP-Setup.dmg

Considering the URL in at least the current "Pro" recipe result in a 404 error I'd say there's no compelling reason to keep these and create new. However, due to the branding/name change away from Pro/Standard to just RP that creates a complication. Renaming the recipes to AxureRP may make the most sense but that's your call.

Another thought is to keep the same Axure names but make the download URLs the same however that may add confusion as there is no Standard license to purchase anymore.

Any thoughts on this PR? There have been a few inquiries in the macadmins Slack about the errors that the existing recipes are outputting.

Sorry for the delayed response, I've been really busy with work and problems around my home. I hope to get to this tomorrow night. From what you've said it seems like the best course of action is to just use your newly created recipes and remove the old but I'll have to take a look for myself and see.
Thanks for the pull request.

No problem. I totally understand. I saw your note in the open issue about being busy so just wanted to bump this today in case things slowed down.

I merged the pull request, and plan to drop support for the legacy recipes, probably going to make a note on the repo landing page for concerned users. Thanks again for the pull request.
