Fira Font URLs yield 404

[RalfJung]

These URLs in the getFiraFont.sh script yield a 404 when downloading them:

wget "http://dev.carrois.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/downloads/fira_3_1/FiraSans3106.zip"
wget "http://dev.carrois.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/downloads/fira_3_1/FiraMono3106.zip"

Looks like Fira development currently lives on GitHub:
https://github.com/mozilla/Fira

Don't necessarily see an easy way pull a small-ish collection (the entire thing is 102MB, unreasonably large for this purpose). Easier full collections are probably the OTF font packages at Font Squirrel:
(direct download) https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/download/fira-sans
(direct download) https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/download/fira-mono

I don't know how to integrate that into the shell script, though.

If we stick with the Carrois versions of the fonts, I believe the new URLs should be:

http://www.carrois.com/downloads/fira_4_1/FiraFonts4106.zip
http://www.carrois.com/downloads/fira_mono_3_2/FiraMonoFonts3206.zip

The name of the folders in the shell script will also need to be changed, but other than that things should work fine.

I suppose this raises an important issue, though, as we're going to run into this problem every time a new version of Fira is released. Is anybody willing to keep an eye on the Fira repo or the Carrois URL and update getFiraFont.sh every time it changes?

Well, ideally URLs wouldn't change and old versions not deleted. But of course we cannot demand anything in that regard.

I certainly won't. It would be possible to set up a Travis job so we could see if the URLs are still working everytime we push a commit but on the other hand that sounds like a waste of resources. So, for now let's hope the URLs won't change :-)
