Scripts are almost working on Ubuntu
Updating scripts to enable the download of the sonar zip distribution on sonarqube.
@ehsavoie What is the purpose of this change?
In fact my original question can be rephrased as: why someone would like to build package instead of downloading from http://sonar-pkg.sourceforge.net/ ? And as long as packages are built by one person - there is no need in changing layout of directories ;) Explanation of layout: I also maintain Gentoo ebuild for Sonar and due to this distribution is automatically downloaded into "/usr/distfiles" prior to execution of those scripts. However indeed - this change can be applied without breaking my layout/workflow.
Well because sometimes you're on vacation ;o) and neither Simon nor Fabrice could release the new version.
Because it's an opensource project and maybe people would want to package their plugins in their distribution, or don't want to add another external repo, or whatever ....
I didn't said that this change can't be accepted in general ;) I'd be happy to apply it, when issues described in my comments to code will be solved.
I used this script, because I was not sure that the site http://sonar-pkg.sourceforge.net/ was part of the project! I now realise it is, but by that time I had downloaded and built.
Oviously it would be a good idea to be able to build the packages locally since the binary packages haven't been updated for more than 4 months now ...
