[Bioperl-l] Automatic download of bioperl from git

[Dave Messina]

Hi Scott,

I think the URLs you want are these

	http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Getting_BioPerl#Snapshots

snapshots of the current repository.


If you want instead to grab a static version of a repository, say a tagged revision, you can do like this:

http://github.com/bioperl/bioperl-live/tarball/for_gmod_0_003

(where "for_gmod_0_003" is the tag).


By the way, I am getting these URLs on GitHub by:

1.  going to the GitHub page for the relevant repository 

	e.g. http://github.com/bioperl/bioperl-live

2.  navigating to the tag or branch of interest using the "Switch Branches" or "Switch Tags" pulldowns

3.  clicking on the Download Source button

4.  right-clicking on the big TAR icon to copy the link underlying it
