Add latest link in binary downloads directory?

[Former user]

Hi. Would it be possible to create a latest link in the binary downloads directory (https://mmonit.com/monit/dist/binary/)? It would allow for scripts to pull (wget) the latest version for automated deployment. Many thanks.

Good idea! +1.

Currently my update-checker uses:

version=$(curl -s "https://mmonit.com/monit/changes/" | grep -Po '[\d.]+(?= -->)' | head -n1)
latest="https://mmonit.com/monit/dist/binary/${version}/monit-${version}-linux-x64.tar.gz"

Hi,

‌

the version is part of both the directory and file, e.g.:

https://mmonit.com/monit/dist/binary/5.26.0/monit-5.26.0-linux-x64.tar.gz

would it be sufficient to create the latest directory link like this?:

https://mmonit.com/monit/dist/binary/latest/ → https://mmonit.com/monit/dist/binary/5.26.0/

(it’ll still contain file like monit-5.26.0-linux-x64.tar.gz which you can fetch using regular expression)
