bot, build eu.annaaurora.find_billy.Find_Billy
Do you have control over https://find-billy.annaaurora.eu/ or https://annaaurora.eu/ or both?
You can use the rotating url checker https://github.com/flathub-infra/flatpak-external-data-checker?tab=readme-ov-file#url-checker Don't set a pattern, just set the url to the unversioned download link and checksums will be automatically updated.
No it can be a fully static URL that points to the latest version always also. It may redirect or may not. About versioning, version is extracted from the Url...
Having false version info is worse than having none, at least with none people will know to look for it elsewhere.
If they get added to app data, people will start reporting bugs or asking about non existent versions.
vYYYY are actual version strings often used by projects, it's a problem to generate random versions.
I'm not going to go on about the versioning. That seems like a bad idea to me and too much complexity for very little gain and imo makes things worse....
Flathub server does not download them, it runs on Github actions and they have a large bandwidth. 90% of the time the tool is going to be run in CI...
No need to introduce a new type. This currently only makes sense for rotating URLs which are static. The checkers already skip any downloads if the URLs remain unchanged.
