Handle downloads as ZIP in BrowserModule instead of ChangesetModule

[anonymous]

I'm trying to get download link for one of my repositories via InterMapTxt page: download ​http://trissrv/trac/changeset/latest/$1old_path=/&filename=$1&format=zip # Download the zipped source

But [download:com_test] link gives me "Can't compare across different repositories: vs. com_test" error. I use VisualSVNServer+Tracv0.12 and have 2 repositories in one Trac environment. In trac.ini i set downloadable_paths = /*/trunk, /branches/*, /tags/* and i can download zipped archive via footer's link. But i want to make universal download link like on trac-hacks.org and use it on my trac/wiki pages. I unsuccessfully tried to find the solution on mail lists, can you help me?

This probably won't work using InterMapTxt, because the old_path= URL argument must point to the root of the repository you are downloading from, which will vary depending on the link content.

We should move the download code out of the ChangesetModule and into the BrowserModule request handler, which should allow simplifying the URL and make this work. I'll give it a try.

Thanks for your reply. Btw i tried the following prefix definition:

download ​http://trissrv/trac/changeset/latest/$1/trunk?old_path=$1&format=zip

Now the link works like i wanted (zip archive for full source code at lates revision), but output zip has ugly name trunk-X.zip X - revision. I think it depends on repository tree type. Anyway it would be nice to have download stuff in BrowserModule.

That's actually an enhancement.

There's a patch for this discussed in #8919.
