Hi!
See this Discourse thread for more information: https://discourse.elm-lang.org/t/psa-old-elm-binary-downloads-now-gone/7319
The discourse thread mentions workarounds for 0.18.0
. I have the same problem with 0.17.1
, and those workarounds don't work for that version. For example, I haven't been able to find any binary tarballs on github for 0.17.1
. (here) Are there any known workaround for 0.17.1
?
I was looking at the tags on https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-platform, hoping that I could build elm-platform
from source. But it doesn't have a 0.17.1
tag. Which repo(s) was 0.17.1
originally built from? And from which commits?
Edit: There's binary versions for 0.17.0
here: https://github.com/lydell/elm-old-binaries/releases/tag/main
The Discourse post links to a place to download many old Elm binaries, including 0.17.1. So you can download from there if you trust me – that’s a workaround for 0.17.1.
Elm 0.18.0 seems to be the only pre-0.19 version that was updated to use GitHub releases instead of bintray.
(I don’t know which repo(s) 0.17.1 was originally built from.)
I'm not sure if this will lead to a solution for 0.17, but I believe this is around the commit that would be relevant to the 0.17.1 release: https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-platform/tree/b7a68b23dc3db5c0c7707d70955e953b8cada7f1
@lydell: Right, sorry, I missed that. :+1:
@avh4: Yeah, I looked at some of those untagged commits. The build instructions say that I need a cabal
version that supports the sandbox
sub-command. Which was removed from cabal
some time ago, it seems: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/6445. I gave up at that point.
Quick Summary: Cannot install Elm 0.16.0
Unfortunately, I have a dependency to Elm 0.16.0 in my package.json. When I run
npm ci
(ornpm install
), I'm getting:The reason seems to be quite obvious: the requests to the URLs below end up with 403 Forbidden errors.
https://dl.bintray.com/elmlang/elm-platform/0.16.0/linux-x64.tar.gz https://dl.bintray.com/elmlang/elm-platform/0.16.0/elm-reactor-assets.tar.gz
Can you please fix it?
I'm raising the bug here as the "Issues" link from https://www.npmjs.com/package/elm points here.
