opencascade: How to deal with source downloads that require a login

[Richard Shaw]

I'm working on packaging opencasecade for Fedora as OCE (occt community
edition) has not been updated in years.

Unfortunately while the occt license was updated to be truly open source
they still require a login to download the source archive.

Is this a FOSS problem or just a technical/infra one? Obviously tools like
downloading with spectools will fail...

The easy fix is to upload the source to somewhere everyone can get to it
(My fedorapeople account?).

Thanks,
Richard

Use something like this:

# go to www.... and click xxx, than you can download this
Source0:    %{name}-%{version}.tar.xz

As long as the license is acceptable according to the Fedora list it's
not a problem.
