nope .. that didn't work for nightlies . :-\

I changed my nightly dl script thus :

# essential info is at http://curl.haxx.se/info
/usr/local/bin/wget --output-file=/dev/null -q \
-O - http://curl.haxx.se/info | /usr/xpg4/bin/grep "^Version" | \
/usr/xpg4/bin/sed 's/^Version\:\ //' > current_version.dat

Which results in :

node002$ cat ./tarballs/current_version.dat
7.36.0

So that is a big ol' 404 :

node002$ cat ./tarballs/fetch.log
--2014-04-02 06:00:01--
 http://curl.haxx.se/snapshots/curl-7.36.0-20140402.tar.gz
Resolving curl.haxx.se... 80.67.6.50, 2a00:1a28:1200:9::2

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
2014-04-02 06:00:01 ERROR 404: Not Found.

However this works :

node002$ /usr/local/bin/wget --output-file=/dev/null -q \
-O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bagder/curl/master/RELEASE-NOTES
| \
/usr/bin/head -1 | /usr/xpg4/bin/sed 's/^Curl\ and\ libcurl\ //'
7.37.0

run my script :

node002$ ./curl_daily_fetch.sh

Results are :

node002$ find .
.
./curl_daily_fetch.sh
./curl-7.37.0-20140330.tar.gz
./curl_setup.sh
./tarballs

With a bit more hackary I should have nightly builds going, at least
with Oracle Studio 12.3 and then GCC to follow next week.

Sorry, no progress on the x86_64 server yet. I have it ordered and
sitting in Toronto. Should pick it up this Friday, install and
update patches take a night and then I need to get it into the
datacenter. Could be a while before I get all the required
dependencies built however.
