Updating presskit(); #5

Open CodeCow opened 10 years ago

CodeCow commented 10 years ago

Right now presskit(); is updating itself from the following two URL's:

  1. http://www.ramiismail.com/kit/press/

and in case the files fail to update themselves , a Dropbox link is used as a backup

  1. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12157099/presskit/

Perhaps we can try to pull updates from the repository itself?

The update is intentional, but I might do that. For now, I'll keep it linked to my website while I get used to Github. Need to check why the Dropbox is down.

The secondary URL does not work(dropbox gives me a 404) while the primary URL can potentially update presskit(); to an older version if not maintained frequently.

Perhaps we can try to pull updates from the repository itself?

Dropbox works fine, but you need to link to a file directly since it doesn't do a directory listing. E.g.: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12157099/presskit/archive.zip.

@Deron Thanks! Edited with correct information.

I'd like to recommend using the GitHub Releases feature.

@ramiismail would need to create a release tag when a build is ready to get shipped. But the latest release with a ZIP will be at a fixed URL, all ready to go. That URL won't change when there's a new version. Not to mention the notifications go out automatically for anyone subscribing.

@TheSeg I've implemented your feature on my fork, along with a few other pull requests from upstream here, in case you're interested: https://github.com/codingthat/dopresskit
