Looking for VERY specific release of older Moodle

Looking for VERY specific release of older Moodle

I recall there was once a site where every single Moodle release and subrelease was stored in zip format. Anyone know where this is or is my memory playing tricks on me?

I have someone who deleted a couple core modules from a specific release (3.0.1) and want to extract those modules from exactly that version.


Thanks... Randy

Even more specifically, I am looking for standard activity mods with versions of 2015111600.

Hi Randy,
you can download absolutely any version from github.
Any release you can find in the "Releases" tab: https://github.com/moodle/moodle/releases , they one you are after is actually a release of Moodle 3.0 - https://github.com/moodle/moodle/releases/tag/v3.0.0

We don't tag weekly versions but if you want to find a particular weekly version here is how you do it.
Update in version.php is the last commit before the weekly release, so just look for the history of version.php modifications - go to https://github.com/moodle/moodle , click on version.php , click on History, you will end up on https://github.com/moodle/moodle/commits/master/version.php
From here find the version that you want - it will take a while to browse with the web version but would be faster if you had command line git installed.

Now you can see that on 2015-11-16 there were one commit in 3.0 branch and actually two commits in 3.1 - one was marked as 2015111600.00 and another 2015111600.01 (I think there was a forgotten web service declaration and integrators had to bump version twice).

Now click on the commit on this date and you will see the actual commit diff. Click the button "Browse files" and you will see a snapshot of the Moodle code after this date:
https://github.com/moodle/moodle/tree/6114fab for version 3.0
https://github.com/moodle/moodle/tree/90d50ad for version 3.1dev

Press "Clone or download" and then "Download as ZIP". Enjoy

Marina, 

This is great! Thank you. I don't know why I didn't think to look there first. Guess it was because I recall a site with zip files of all the releases. But this is much better smile
