no more tar balls?

no more tar balls?

Hello,

for Debian packages there is a tool that checks if for a given software
there is a new upstream version to automatically alert the packager. Up
to now the location being checked is

	https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/devel/sparse/dist/

for sparse. There however the newest release (0.5.1) is missing. Was it
just forgotten to upload a tar ball there, or did you stop explicitly
distributing tar balls?

Best regards
Uwe

I will need to look into how to upload to this directory.

If you want to rely on the automatic tars generated by cgit that would
be fine enough, I think. Just have to work out how to get the newest
archive from there.

Having said that, if you continue to use the above directory that would
be the easiest for me. And additionally there is a cryptographic
signature which is also nice.

Best regards
Uwe

Thank you so much. That is exactly what I am looking for.
I remember I need to use an external program to do that,
It has been a while so I forget about the details.

I just book marked the page.

Thanks again.
