Hi,
it would be awesome if sonar-scanner-cli source will be renamed to sonar-scanner-cli-latest-linux.zip for example, it would be helpful for integrate in a DevOps environments such automatic container deploys.
Thanks.

Is there any possibility of having the download URLs be easier to get the latest version?

Example:

https://binaries.sonarsource.com/Distribution/sonar-scanner-cli/sonar-scanner-cli-4.6.0.2311-linux.zip

Would ideally be available via the following URLs:
https://binaries.sonarsource.com/Distribution/sonar-scanner-cli/sonar-scanner-cli-latest-linux.zip
https://binaries.sonarsource.com/Distribution/sonar-scanner-cli/sonar-scanner-cli-4.x.x-linux.zip
https://binaries.sonarsource.com/Distribution/sonar-scanner-cli/sonar-scanner-cli-4.6.x-linux.zip

This way, I can encode my repo’s CI to use the latest url. Otherwise I’m almost always running with outdated code & maintaining 30+ repos gets tedious.

Thanks,
Wes

I’m looking for the same thing. Has anyone solved this?
Alternatively, can I use a web api to just get the most recent sonar-scanner-cli version number? For example a response that was simply: 4.6.0.2311 would work. I could then build up the URL with that version number.

Thanks,
Jesse
