source archive on demand

[gcode-importer]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 85

Issue 83 once more shows: there MUST be a source archive
for each revision. Otherwise the issue chain will never
become shorter.

Is it possible to have a link e.g. 'current source archive'
that creates on user demand an archive for download?

By the way: version2/codec/convert.c too does include
'png.h' but not 'zlib.h'.

There is no such option proposed by Googlecode ...

What we could do is to submit weekly snapshots like in this project : 
http://code.google.com/p/imos-toolbox/wiki/WeeklySnapshots

But: 
- this will use around 10 Mb of additional storage each week. Not good.
- Each new snapshot should trigger an action setting the previous snapshot to 'deprecated'
in order to keep the download section reasonably small. AFAIK, there is no way to do
this automatically.
- Why is it so complicated for users to just type 'svn co http://openjpeg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk
openjpeg' in a terminal or use Tortoise if they are on Win platforms ?

My mistake : it would take 1.5 Mb, which is reasonable.

But it does not solve (2) nor answer (3).

If you go to 'http://www.openjpeg.org/', you find - on the left side -
a 'Download' link. This link opens a page that contains the old
archives.

Only if you press the 'Source' tab, you find the SVN possibility.

The DOWNLOAD page could contain:

1) A weekly generated archive if some code has changed. 
   The source archive for r697: how has it been uploaded? 

2) The SVN command.


All other archives could disappear.

I added a download page on the website with both download section and source checkout.

Time will show that this does not help. 

'openjpeg_v1_4_sources_r697' is not 'the latest' source; it is 'the latest'
offered as a source archive.

'openjpeg_v1_4_sources_r697' is the latest ... release (version 1.4). As indicated.

Releases will be done on a more regular basis now.
