[Bioperl-l] Automatic download of bioperl from git

[Scott Cain]

Hi all,

For GBrowse on the 1.X branch there is a network install script that
people can download and execute and it will install all of the
prerequisites and then install GBrowse.  For this script, we also
support a -d(eveloper) option, to get GBrowse and BioPerl from their
repositories.  Now that BioPerl has moved to git, I have a question:
does anybody know if there is a way (preferably via url) to get
bioperl from git in a non-interactive way?

The read-only url on the bioperl-live git page,
http://github.com/bioperl/bioperl-live.git, leads to a 404 error, and
even if it didn't, I have a feeling that it would take a click or two
to get to downloading source.  Does anybody with more git-fu than me
(which isn't a hard thing to have, since I don't have much) have any
suggestions?

Thanks,
Scott
