autoproj_bootstrap is not pointing to github anymore

We lost "auto-update" of the bootstrap script - this was done by redirecting to the github repository (albeit using a separate branch)

One possible solution would be to use cloudflare to "front" rock-robotics.org and then use CloudFlare's page rewrite. I'm using this in my company, it works great.

The one thing you need is to get the right to use cloudflare as the DNS for rock-robotics.org.

Good to know. I will first check the options with our current hoster.

For now I would just manually update after an autoproj releases: #9

With the current DNS setup www CNAME to rock-core.github.io is not possible.
Changing the DNS back to our hoster and setting up a redirect via .htaccess would be an option - though not my preferred one at the moment.

@doudou: How does cloudfare provide the redirect in combination with a github page?

Cloudflare allows to do URL rewrite before it hits the server. So, you can rewrite the autoproj_bootstrap URLs to point to the github repo.

@planthaber care to share how this has been fixed ?

By the name, #9 solved it

But i mixed up the dates and did not recognize the latest discussion, sorry.

What about adding the bootstrap script to the release files, and then linking here to something like this:
https://github.com/rock-core/autoproj/releases/latest/download/autoproj_bootstrap

Not sure how to proceed with the other files in the download section here though.

FYI The rock-and-syskit documentation points to github directly.

Ok, then we should maybe just delete those copies, adjust our internal scripts to download the correct version, and update any (apparantly outdated) instructions to provide the new link instead.
