Hi, I’m trying to package 3dslicer for ArchLinux from the binary tarball. Currently, we get a download url [https://download.slicer.org/bitstream/944596](https://download.slicer.org/bitstream/944596), which is not related to the version of 3dslicer. Could we have a url related to the version? Something like [https://download.slicer.org/bitstream/3dslicer-4.10.1.tar.gz](https://download.slicer.org/bitstream/3dslicer-4.10.1.tar.gz). It would be of great help to automatically create a package for ArchLinux. Than you.

[Download.slicer.org](http://Download.slicer.org) redirects to kitware, and doesn’t handle the bits. It would have to happen on the kitware side.

Oh, I think I found a way to download the latest 3D Slicer. I somehow found that I could download the latest release for Linux with url `http://download.slicer.org/download?os=linux&stability=release`. This works for me. see also [FAQ](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/4.10/FAQ#Where_can_I_download_Slicer.3F) if needed.
