Fix extension build links on install page

markmhendrickson opened this issue · 2 comments

The link to the extension build on the "Install Blockstack" page (listed in two places, with value https://987-203447698-gh.circle-artifacts.com/0/extension.zip) is broken.

@hstove I believe you mentioned that we'd have to keep this manually updated. But is there possibly a way to automate so we don't have to worry about this in general going forward?

Yes, @markmhx , this URL needs to be constantly updated. The current hard-coded solution won't work.

My recommendation for "build from source" docs is to link off to the instructions here.

We could have a server-side thing that always returns the latest ZIP, but I think we wouldn't even want that. The people building from source don't want a ZIP, they want the source code so they can build it themselves!

I've updated this page with a link to those instructions on GitHub and generally cleaned up the format while adding an introductory paragraph:
