Task #3441

specify link instead of uploading the OXT
Added by Daniel Naber almost 4 years ago.
Updated over 3 years ago.
Description
Our .oxt is about 150 MB in size, and we often have issues uploading it (today: "502 Bad Gateway"). I'd like to be able to specify a link to the external .oxt file, as it used to be possible on the old extension site.

You can add just the link at "URL of the Extensions Homepage". Many do so with Github. Does this answer your question?

I want to link a specific release, so users can click and download it from our website. Our homepage is linked already.

The upload size limit has been lifted/bumped previously, so I'd rather not add links to external files as a release entry. It would mean our site wouldn't know whether a link works/goes dead/would need constant checking, and of course also would not allow us to add the extension update mechanism in future.
If someone absolutely doesn't want to upload files to our repository, a regular download link in the description can be added, but it won't be treated as a release, so I tend to reject this unless other reasons are brought up...
@Heiko: please decide
- Status changed from Feedback to Rejected
Taking Cloph's suggestion to reject this URL-only extensions.
