Brian Hicks (Sep 06 2022 at 22:29): Brian Hicks (Sep 06 2022 at 22:29):I need to download some nightly build for rbt's CI steps. How long are we retaining the ones we have up on https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/releases/tag/nightly ?
Brian Carroll (Sep 07 2022 at 05:08):It's configured to 4 days here
Brian Carroll (Sep 07 2022 at 05:09):... if I understand that config file correctly, which I might not!
Anton (Sep 07 2022 at 06:35):The 4 days is for a different URL where you need to be logged in to access it.
On https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/releases/tag/nightly it is 3 days. I've been recently fixing nightlies so there are some older ones but for the future you should assume 3 days. I also have two bash scripts if you want to see how to download the most recent one, see example usage here.
Brian Hicks (Sep 07 2022 at 10:09):that's actually precisely the thing I need, thanks! If I need something stable longer-term I can just grab one and stick it in rbt's GH releases for now.
Anton (Sep 08 2022 at 08:50):@Brian Hicks note that those scripts are to test if today's releases are uploaded and will fail if no release with today's date is present. So they do not exactly download the most recent release.
