Has anyone looked into this? I am debating upgrading Adobe Reader to DC and noticed that autopkg is currently using the "Continuous" track versus the Classic.


Reader download locations
Location             Continuous              Classic

There's also an open issue on the recipes repo for this. Seems like we could handle more granularity of releases but it would probably mean rewriting a different and more comprehensive URL provider processor.

Adobe Reader 2015 = Classic ( ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader//mac/Acrobat2015/1500630033/AcroRdr2015_1500630033_MUI.dmg )
Adobe Reader DC = Continuous ( ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader//mac/AcrobatDC/1500720033/AcroRdrDC_1500720033_MUI.dmg )

Since the current processor uses get.adobe.com, it's only going to work for DC.

I found this pretty interesting.
Upsell enabled?    Standard only    N/A

If I'm reading this right, from now on it will be Adobe Reader 2015->2016->etc.

“From now on”.  Heh.

You mean until someone at Adobe changes their mind again.
