github bridge broken

[anonymous]

The github bridge at ​https://github.com/openstreetmap/josm seems to be broken as it didn't receive any update from May 25th.

I need to use the github repo because the subversion sources use unpinned sub-repositories, which create unverifiable (unstable) sources downloads. Thank you for your hard work!

Mirror is an unsupported (best-effort) feature. SVN latest always build. If you really need old source snapshots, you can use Debian ones for example.

thanks, but I don't need old source snapshots, I need stable ones (whose sha256 hash don't change every two days or so) :) Since externals are not fixed at any revision, I will always get a different source when I fetch again a few days latter.

Anyway, I understand it's only a best-effort, so take your time to fix this. I hope you'll switch to Git soon enough ;)

SVN has a time feature: svn up -r {date}. Simply access SVN reposity not with the revision, but with the date (and time) of a revision. If you need it exact: JOSM builds are done 3:30 CEST.

Example: "-r {2018-07-20}" or to get exactly last tested: svn up -r "{2019-07-10T03:30+02:00}"

P.S. Build time can be found in MANIFEST of released JAR files. This works also for hotfixes, which may not be build at 3:30.
