There are currently on CCI 35 recipes downloaded from sourceforge but I'm not sure there is a way to programatically get all versions available on sourceforge projects, or even the latest

It looks like sourceforge does provide a number of APIs that could be used to achieve this:

  1. http://p.sf.net/sourceforge/api-docs
  2. https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/API/

Using armadillo as an example, reference (1) provides the /rest/p/{project} endpoint, which yields data of the following format for a project:

You can see from this that it does provide a link to the projects download page. In the case of armadillo, this is https://sourceforge.net/rest/p/arma/files. Unfortunately, submitting a GET request to this endpoint returns the same content as https://sourceforge.net/projects/arma/files/ - it returns HTML rather than json, so a scraper would be necessary to extract the file names. Having said this, it does look like this HTML does contain a potentially useful json structure:

I'm not sure if this is common to all sourceforge projects, but this net.sf.files variable seems to store all versions provided by a project, or at least it does in the case of armadillo. From here you could try to identify a semver version and extract it for comparison to identify the latest version. Beyond that, it looks like they might be ordered chronologically, so you could look at where the existing recipe sits in the json and if it's not first this could be an identifier that it's not the latest version.

Might be fragile, but could be a good place to start.

Thanks for checking this. For this bot, I don't think it had to be robust. Even if it works for only 10% of the sourceforge projects, it's a net improvement.

I've had a quick look at this and sadly it does not seem that all (many?) sourceforge projects follow such pattern

For this to be useful, we only need this to work for the majority of the following libraries:

conan-center-index $ grep -rnw ".*sourceforge.*" . | grep "conandata" | cut -d'/' -f3 | uniq

I just did a spot check on boost, and in constrast to the above I had to query /p/boost/files/boost rather than /p/boost/files. There was still a net.sf.files object which had version information. Another way to approach this might be to try to strip version information out of the url entry in conandata.yml - it seems like if you can find the level that contains version information you could try to construct something. I'll have a look at a few more of these projects to see if there are any/many common themes when i get a chance
