We have a similar mechanism already (that is used by the Open MPI community for nightly regression testing), but with the advantage that it will give you a unique download filename (vs. "openmpi-v2.x-latest.bz2" every night). Do this: wget https://www.open-mpi.org/nightly/v2.x/latest_snapshot.txt wget https://www.open-mpi.org/nightly/v2.x/openmpi-`cat latest_snapshot.txt`.tar.bz2 The nightly snapshots are created each night starting around 9pm US Eastern. New snapshots are created if there were commits to the tree that day.
Nice! But I have a concern about taking the nightly: it it "just" a snapshot, or is it "somewhat validated" before beeing a snapshot?
Or I could ask: is this snapshot stable enough to be tested by "outsiders"? Is there any more "stable" branch to wget?
If not, I would ask if there is a similar wget trick to get the latest "release candidate" or something more "stable" than a snapshot of the repository...
Does that help?
Yes, thanks! Eric
