Use SHA256sums to intelligently download latest CI builds into DP installer --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBDS-3859 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3859 Project: Red Hat Developer Studio (DevStudio) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: platform-installer Affects Versions: 10.0.0.Alpha1 Reporter: Nick Boldt Assignee: Nick Boldt Fix For: 10.0.0.Alpha1 Per discussion with Denis today, we could: * check REMOTE sha256sum before pulling down a new JBDS jar; this will allow us to only fetch a new jbds.jar if the SHAs don't match because a new CI build is available * re-enable creation of sha256sum after a download (so that we don't have to create them every time we want to compare to a remote one * switch json to use nightly for CDK, vbox, jbds, so builds will use the latest CI * add cmdline flag to use the values in requirements.json vs. nightly latest CI, so it's easy to switch between a CI-based build and a statically-defined list of deps * add url-latest in requirements.json so that for requirements that have a CI or latest URL, we know where to pull the nightly; this would obviate the need to pass in the URLs via commandline, or to have to toggle between stable/staging and snapshot/CI every time we want to run one type of build or the other
