The trouble with that is that the nightly archive isn't super reliable, and has gaps in it, so that would possibly require stepping through dates until we find a working one :( > However I notice that the ohrrpgce-mac-minimal.tar.gz and > ohrrpgce-mac-minimal-linkless.tar.gz files aren't being archived at > http://gilgamesh.hamsterrepublic.com/nightly-archive/ > > Maybe we should check the modification date on the downloaded files to > see whether they are out of date, which would help prevent breakage if > the night builds for a platform haven't been running for a while, as > often happens.
