How do you create a *floating* download link to file in bzr hosted on Launchpad?

Question

On GitHub it is possible to create a floating download link which always points to the latest copy of a file in a branch. An example would be;

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KiCad/kicad-library/master/template/fp-lib-table.for-pretty

This is really useful to use in automated install scripts and for linking to from your website.

Is it possible to create a similar style floating link to a bzr file hosted on Launchpad?

---

Having the file downloaded always be the newest version in the repo (the floating part) is the part I'm stuck with. I can follow the instructions at How to view text files on Launchpad raw? to get a link like;

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kicad-product-committers/kicad/product/download/head:/libraryreposinstall.-20131202165949-wv7mnbj220s2m4cy-1/library-repos-install.sh

This link doesn't work though, as it clearly has version information encoded in the URL.

Thank you for your help!

Answer 1

The link you quote is actually the right one. That isn't version information in the URL; it's a unique identifier for the file across its history.
