Steve says:

There’s a magic script on the ROOL site for doing the directory listing
stuff which works great for the pre-built apps but isn’t quite what I need
for the other downloads.

I’ve created a test page called:

http://www.riscosopen.org/content/downloads/test

that illustrates roughly where I’m going, except that my new config.yml file
is clearly not being applied because I’m not sticking to the format that we
used for the other config files.

For a start, I want to allow multiple downloads of the same archive, just
different versions. E.g. soft-iomd.5.15.zip and soft-iyo.5.14.zip. To do
this, I will need the parser to allow the file to be specified either as:

soft-iomd:

soft-iomd.5.15.zip:

depending upon whether I’m expecting to have multiple revisions of it.

Next, I want to specify the icon used for a given file, using the icon: tag.
I don’t know if that’s already supported, but if it isn’t, then I need it
added.

There is a new problem in that some of the archives are .tar.bz2</a> rather than
.zip which means that the parser code that extracts the version number from
the leafname will break. That needs adapting to be smarter about finding the
version number in the leafname.

Speaking of which, another change request is for some files to not have a
version number in their leafname (e.g. batch1to6.tar.bz). The parser should
cope with that and put a dash in the version number field of the table.

Finally, it’d be nice if the table was extended by one column which shows
the datestamp of the file itself.

Sigh. Collaboa textile parsing really is broken… URL missing above is:
