Hey Marcel,

ah relative URLs are actually the current default, absolute ones were not supported.

I abused a Github project of mine for testing purposes: by adding this URL to the Monticello Browser, you should be able to load the mcz I uploaded there: https://github.com/tom95/sandblocks/releases

Best,
Tom

Hi Tom,

can you give an example of such a GitHub release page with relative URLs?

Best,
Marcel

Hey everyone!

With this change, you can add a Github releases page that hosts a mcz file to your Monticello Browser and it will pick the versions up correctly. I have tested some regular repos that I found by default in my image and they still worked. Does anyone know if this change could pose problems in some other setup?

Best,
Tom

A new version of Monticello was added to project The Inbox:
http://source.squeak.org/inbox/Monticello-tobe.724.mcz

==================== Summary ====================

Name: Monticello-tobe.724
Author: tobe
Time: 14 June 2020, 5:24:40.705825 pm

Allow mc http repositories to handle absolute paths

Monticello will collect all tags on the repository's webpage. It currently expects these to be relative to the URL of the website. Some third party sites that can host mcz files, however do not use relative, but absolute paths. An example of this are Github releases pages.
