I am integrating msys2 for harfbuzz CI. Is there any clean way avoid hard coding of release date (20150512) for downloading msys2 base?

    Just to clearing it up, I meant it would be nice if there was a permanent link (a 302 redirect link) for downloading msys2-base instead hard coded links like http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/project/msys2/Base/x86_64/msys2-base-x86_64-20150512.tar.xz that contains 20150512 which will be changed and broken sooner or later.

    Any thought guys? I did this for another project that was interested on CI testing on Windows and resolving hardcoded installer version would be nice for it also.

    I'm create links without hardcoded dates here: http://repo.msys2.org/distrib/
