Problems regarding alsa-info.sh

Problems regarding alsa-info.sh

Since the move from HG->GIT there is now a new download location for
alsa-info.sh . There are 2 current problems with this though..

1) The new URL is very ugly(and hard to post on wikis etc)
The new link is
http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-driver.git;a=blob_plain;f=utils/alsa-info.sh

2) The current script version at HG repo (which is where people
currently get it from, is an outdated version, that checks the HG repo
for updates to the script.

We need to put the new version of the script into HG (if its still
accessible), with the updated 'update' URL, or, somehow redirect from
the old URL to the new URL.

Please let me know what should be done about this, and how to go about
fixing it.

Attached is the updated alsa-info.sh with the new GIT URLS (update and
changelog) in place.

Sorry for the quick 2nd post, but ive just been thinking about this.. If
we can patch the GIT version with the patch i just emailed, and
temporarily put that same file (version 0.4.46) into the HG repo (even
if it has to be entered manually) then current script users will get the
new script (which contains the new URLs). That will solve half the
problem.

Then we just need a friendly URL to post in wikis etc.

Ive setup a very temporary tinyurl page.. http://tinyurl.com/5bz98h

Seems to work ok, but we want something more perm, and more professional
looking, really.

Well, unfortunately the HG is blocked and I cannot update it any
more...  If this is once updated, then yes, it'll be a good
workaround.

Anyway I'll update the GIT version first.


thanks,

Takashi

Thanks again,

I'll switch the script to new repo and redirect old URL to new 
location tomorrow. I'm busy with other things today.

As promised, things are clear and maintainable again, now.

The "official" URLs for download and changelog are:

http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh.changelog

They are redirected on ALSA server to real (but no so nice) URLs to 
alsa-driver.git repo.
