[Vm-dev] Urgent need for binary reorganization, or at least easier access

[Ronie Salgado]

Hi Eliot,

During the weekend I managed to get the latest version on bintray for my
own projects (Woden) by using their REST API, without paying for the
premium support. I wrote some Python scripts that works on Windows, Linux
and Mac.

The attached Python script can be used to get the latest version of Cog
available at bintray. Here are some examples of the script usage along with
its output:
