determine http source for file in my PKGBUILD

graysky · 2009-05-26 23:17:42

I'm trying to write a PKGBUILD for a JAlbum skin. The problem I'm having is that the download link doesn't point to a specific file. Ideas on how I can translate the following into a source=(http://) line in my PKGBUILD are welcomed

Here is the download link: http://jalbum.net/web/GetSkinFile?versi … 3&type=zip
Here is the page that the page at which the download link resides: http://jalbum.net/skins/skin/BananAlbum

This may work....

source=(BananAlbum_v6.1.4.zip::http://jalbum.net/web/GetSkinFile?versi … p;type=zip)

When I come across downloads like that, I tend to download them in Firefox, then right-click the file in the Download Manager and select "Copy Download Link" and then I can do what I like with it

@Allan - thanks for the suggestion. I had to wrap it in double-quotes for it to work though:

source=("BananAlbum_v6.1.4.zip::http://jalbum.net/web/GetSkinFile?versionId=1253&type=zip")

@fukawi2 - I tried your suggestion, but the same perl line got copied rather than an absolute path (i.e. http://jalbum.net/web/GetSkinFile?versi … &type=zip)
