Use stable links

Currently the links seem to be changing here. We need to pick something that is static

Hm, I had not seen those comments, sorry! I'll address them next week.

No worries. Thanks for following up 🙏

We could just upload those on a (date-based?) tag on this repo

@jezdez , appears Anaconda has the same issue with this recipe. Maybe we can coordinate on the solution here?

[jaimergp]

Given how important NSIS is for the installers, maybe something like conda/nsis-mirror which the community can control (instead of personal repos), would be super welcome?

[jakirkham]

In the past we've just attached this sort of thing to the feedstock directly. We can always add maintainers. It's a pretty lightweight solution

That said, don't have strong feelings. @isuruf , what do you think?

Yeah, that's a good idea, I've filed an internal ticket about this so that @skupr-anaconda and others can take a look.

For the record, the recipe for nsis lives (IIUC) here: https://github.com/AnacondaRecipes/aggregate/blob/master/nsis-feedstock/recipe/meta.yaml

why not use a repo in one of the Github orgs (conda-forge/conda/conda-incubator/AnacondaRecipes), uploads and changes can then be done via PRs... I am not aware of an internal Anaconda WebService that allows binary uploads via PR so that uploads and its operation are transparent to everybody.

[jaimergp]

We basically need something like https://github.com/kichik/nsis but with synced Releases (not just tags) that bundle the binary artifacts, and all the plugins.

[jaimergp]

I added some logic in a fork of that repo. We can transfer it to conda-incubator or similar once we are happy with it.

The mirror is now ready, and a PR is ready for review: #24

Thanks!
