Request #23736 has been rejected by ainola [1]: You did a great job trying to figure this out. Thankfully, I've been down the same road! I've worked around it with this: # opendesktop.org-based platforms constantly change two chunks of their source # URL. We must get both values from the same call. _tstamps=($(curl -s "$url" | grep -e "hash =" -e 'timetamp =' | sed "s/.*= '\\(.*\\)';/\\1/")) It's hideous but it works (or at least it did a year or so ago). Alternatively, I'd suggest you get in touch with the maintainer so that there *is* consistency between the two repos. It'd be great to get that sorted out so that anyone can have an easier time packaging than using the monstrosity that is opendesktop. I'll happily delete it if you still do feel strongly enough; Just submit another deletion request and it will be done. But I didn't want you to lose hope quite yet :) Good luck!
