Removed Audacity.download due to TOS violation #7
Comments
FossHUB addressed by 027873e @timsutton were you meaning reevaluate what recipes we use to reduce duplication/reuse across repos? |
@novaksam Some de-duplication would be nice. For example, your Audacity.jss recipe is functionally identical to the jss-recipes/Audacity.jss recipe, except for |
@homebysix Yeah, I use the That's pretty much the only reason I maintain my own jss recipes, though I do contribute to the jss-recipes repo, on occasion. |
@novaksam Yeah, I just meant that if there's unneeded duplication it's always better for anyone doing a search for recipes to have fewer choices. If there's a significant difference in the recipe that makes it not possible to consolidate them, then it's recommended to put that info into the Description so it's clear where they differentiate. |
Audacity's download from fosshub is now clearly in violation of their TOS, so I've removed my Audacity.download recipe and made the Audacity.munki recipe I maintain require the
--pkg
argument so that a user may supply their own download. This just involved changing%pathname%
to%PKG%
and adding aPackageRequired
argument so that it's clearer to users how the recipe must be used.Since you've also got Audacity recipes that ultimately derive from Audacity.download (or are a copy of it), I'm opening this issue on this and a couple other repos.

Keeping the fosshub scraping working for this recipe has been a chore and Audacity is rarely ever updated, so I can't say I don't prefer this approach anyway.
Since there also seems to be duplication across a few of @homebysix, @scriptingosx and @novaksam's recipes it might also be a good time to evaluate whether any recipes could be removed in favour of one or another.
