Can you create download files for each release please?

I'm adding nginx-upload-progress-module to the Macport for nginx as a variant, but not having a fixed download URL is a PITA to deal with...

I'd be forever grateful if you could package the download as nginx_uploadprogress_module-0.9.0.tar.gz as that would make the patchfiles I'm trying to submit to macports easier to produce and manage.

Thanks in advance, and thanks for this nginx module!

You can download a given tag with a fixed url, for instance the tar.gz of the v0.9.0 tag is available at: https://github.com/masterzen/nginx-upload-progress-module/tarball/v0.9.0 it downloads as: masterzen-nginx-upload-progress-module-v0.9.0-0-ga788dea.tar.gz

Would that work for you?

That looks fine, until 0.9.1 comes out and the "ga788dea" part changes…

Is there no way to just make a download available where the only thing that changes in the path and file is the version number? This is going to be somewhat automated/generated, which is why this somewhat insignificant issue is somewhat significant ;-)

Done, the latest targz is available at: https://github.com/downloads/masterzen/nginx-upload-progress-module/nginx_uploadprogress_module-0.9.0.tar.gz

Now, I have to remember to upload a new tar gz whenever I tag a new version :)

Thank you thank you thank you!

On one hand, you only have to create the file if you want your module available in macports :-D

Ok I got as far as my meager Macport skills could take me, now asking the port maintainer for nginx to bail me out. Wish me luck!

Congratulations, you're not included in the nginx port for Macports:
