Automatically fetch and compile ancient software

Dear Reader 📖

I am slowly migrating all my docker-related work to an organisation, whalimeter

• 🗞 I seldom update my blog
• 🛠 I often create or update private OSS projects here, at bitbucket and gitlab
• 💰 I sometimes create or update corporate OSS projects, formerly at Yanzi, HealthIntegrator and Mitigram, now at GpsGate
• 💖 I have a special love for the misunderstood Tcl
• 🐚 Lately I have focused on POSIX shell to better target the embedded and devops spaces
• 🐳 I have a gist that, from a running container, prints out the command-line docker command to create it.
• 🐋 I have a script to rebase a slim Docker image on top of another one without changing its original configuration.
• 🏢 I am always open for opportunities in the beautiful Stockholm, or remote. But I am enjoying my time at GpsGate.

dinosaurs's Issues

Release per version instead

Generate releases per version instead of collecting all versions of the same project, e.g. one release for jpeg6b, another for jpeg7, etc.

Add Mesa

Add the Mesa3D library

Tk 8.4.20

Create releases for Tk 8.4.20. It fails to build.

Add proper source tar+zip

Current release technique at GitHub packs compressed archives with the source of this project. While this might be of interest, it would be better to arrange for the compressed archives that were downloaded from the respective projects to be part of the release.

JPEG

Add a conduit for downloading and compiling libjpeg, from the IJG. Official downloads, per version are available at http://ijg.org/files/. Implementation will require a different fetch.sh implementation.
