Use builds.clickhouse.com as primary download source#76
Merged
Conversation
Switch from GitHub releases to builds.clickhouse.com as the primary download source for ClickHouse binaries, with transparent fallback to packages.clickhouse.com (Linux) and GitHub releases (macOS) for exact patch versions or older releases not available on builds. New version spec support: latest, stable, lts, major (25), minor (25.12), and exact 4-part (25.12.9.61). Post-download version detection via `clickhouse --version` for builds source. Minor-prefix dedup avoids redundant ~150MB downloads. Remote list now probes builds instead of GitHub API. New modules: spec.rs (version parsing), platform.rs (URL construction for all 3 sources). Adds --force flag to install command. Includes GitHub Actions CI workflow for install integration tests. Closes #74 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The minor-prefix dedup intentionally returns Ok with the existing version rather than erroring. Update the CI test to verify the "already installed" message instead of expecting failure. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The previous fallback used list_available_versions() which only fetches 100 releases — not enough to find older versions like 25.2. Replace with targeted matching-refs API calls (e.g., /git/matching-refs/tags/v25.2.) which find versions regardless of age in a single request.
