Mac desktop client 'latest' link not updated since 3.2.4 #1532

Open overhacked opened 3 years ago

overhacked commented 3 years ago

The 'latest' URL (https://download.nextcloud.com/desktop/releases/Mac/Installer/latest) has not been updated with the 3.3.* version. The link still redirects to version 3.2.4. I use this link in an AutoPkg recipe for software updates; please let me know if this method of getting the latest released version of the desktop client is deprecated. Related to #1432.

Today it links to the 3.3.1 while the 3.3.2 is out for few days

It does? I'm still seeing a redirect to https://download.nextcloud.com/desktop/releases/Mac/Installer/Nextcloud-3.2.4.pkg.

The https://download.nextcloud.com/desktop/releases/Mac/Installer/latest link looks like it was de facto deprecated by @jospoortvliet in c45a7e9, when the web site variables switched to linking directly to GitHub release artifacts. @FlexW fixed a similar issue (#1432) some time ago by updating an .htaccess file, but that file does not appear to be in this repo.

I'd like to suggest that if the …/latest link is no longer a supported way to get the newest client release that it be responded to with a 410 Gone response or at least be removed from .htaccess and get a default 404. The half-deprecation silently broke software updates for me for some time, because my automation was checking for a changed link and happily finding the same (old) version. Thanks, all, for your work!
