@JonasDralle As the downlaod location cannot be accessed without logging in, and unless there is a way to do this from the command line silently, this can't be a package for the Community Repository.

Can I also ask you to edit your request to follow the template provided?

[ChargingBulle]

it worked with #383 tho

@JonasDralle Just to clarify what I said above:

As the downlaod location cannot be accessed without logging in, and unless there is a way to do this from the command line silently, this can't be a package for the Community Repository.

If there is a way to do this from the command line silently then that is fine.

Can I also ask, again, to edit the initial request and use the template we provided? Once you've done that we can make it available to maintainers.

Issue content has been edited.
Theres no authentication required for the download afterall.

Setup is probably non-standard

I've amended the descritpion to say the download URL is public as you confirmed.

👍
Publicity of link was tested via Mozilla Firefox private window.
Hopefully they won't change it once automated downloads hit them.

The setup looks rather gimmicky so maybe it's non-standard. To use the software a user has to log in via the settings menu (but that's post-install configuration when Genymotion is first launched)
