[jira] [Commented] (GUACAMOLE-397) guacamole-auth-jdbc-0.9.13-incubating.tar.gz not in gzip format tar

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-397?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16181083#comment-16181083 ]

Please do not use SourceForge as your source for Guacamole release artifacts. Since there are still a significant number of downloads at that location, no doubt largely from third-party automated scripts, recent release artifacts have been uploaded there, but it should be considered a secondary downstream distribution channel that exists only for compatibility's sake. You will not find any links to SourceForge on the Guacamole website, release notes, or current documentation. New scripts (and humans) should not use it. The only exception here is historical, pre-Apache releases.

The proper location is that hosted by the ASF and can be found through the downloads section of the release notes for the release in question:

http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/releases/0.9.13-incubating/

In this case, the full URL to the artifact would be:

http://apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?action=download&filename=incubator/guacamole/0.9.13-incubating/binary/guacamole-auth-jdbc-0.9.13-incubating.tar.gz

The SourceForge download thing looks to rely on JavaScript within an HTML page to facilitate mirror selection and download, which will only work with a browser and will break usage of wget. I'm not sure whether there is an alternative URL which would work with wget, but please just switch over to using the correct download location hosted by the ASF.
