[Sparkle] Alternative enclosure download urls

[Andrew Bush]

Hi All,

Im attempting to use the sparkle framework in my application, thanks
btw, it rocks.

Ive got the framework working as advertised.

One issue I have is that rather than having to have a separate
download file for each version I would like to have one download file
myapp.zip and just have the enclosure attachment for each new version
point to that same file.

this will save some space on the host, make managing the files
somewhat simpler and (I hope) also avoid any possible issues with out
of date urls lingering throughout the great interweb.

some quick testing seemed to show that using the same, unversioned,
filename for each enclosure fails with the message:
 Can't extract a version string from the appcast feed. The filenames
should look like YourApp_1.5.tgz, where 1.5 is the version number.

which is precisely as the documentation instructs :)

so..is it possible to change a setting somewhere to allow this
behavior?  or is it built into the framework so Ill need to hack at
the source to get it?


thanks for any help.


Yours cheerfully,


Andrew Bush
