Excellent!
I will put all in place, then try both URLs and see which one is
"manageable" for me!
Thanks,
Eric

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?
It's just a snapshot.
Or I could ask: is this snapshot stable enough to be tested by "outsiders"? Is there any
more "stable" branch to wget?
This is a different branch than our head of development (master). It tends to
be pretty stable, but it does break sometimes.
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...
Release candidates move much more slowly than the nightly snapshots -- they're
released at controlled points (e.g., we just did v2.0.0rc3, and we're likely to
do a v2.0.0rc4 shortly with just a few more cleanups beyond rc3). Those are
found here:

I.e., you can do the same latest_snapshot.txt thing there:
wget https://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v2.x/downloads/latest_snapshot.txt
wget https://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v2.x/downloads/openmpi-`cat
latest_snapshot.txt`.tar.bz2
