Mac desktop client 'latest' link not updated since 3.2.4
overhacked opened this issue · 3 comments
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!
