10360	chimeraX download for automated autopkg runs	andrei.labin@…	Greg Couch	"{{{
Dear ChimeraX developers

I’d like to make ChimeraX for macOS available at our University. As our deployment-system is somewhat complicated, we heavily rely on autopkg for automated package retrieval and updating.

There is an older autopkg-recipe for chimera (https://github.com/autopkg/n8felton-recipes/blob/master/Chimera/Chimera.download.recipe) but not for ChimeraX, as the download “hides” behing a software license agreement (which is totally understandable if a user wants to download it manually).

You seem to use a new way to inject the download-URL and the old method of scraping the HTML of the Download-Page for the .dmg with the most recent version number does not work anymore.

Is there a way for you to provide a download-link (or a page that can be parsed for the downloadlink; autopkg can find the most recent version with RegEx’es)?

 

Thank you very much and best wishes

Andrei
