The current version may be downloaded at:
ftp://ftp.trading-shim.org/pub/local/trading-shim/Beginning with the release on 27 Feb 2009, we split the symbol and like data from the code into two tarballs of the form:
shim-YYMMDD.tgz
data-YYMMDD.tgz
where YYMMDD is of the form yielded from:
$ date +%y%m%d
We adopt this approach to address the relative frequency of change
(the code faster; database contents, less so), and the bloat we
have experienced with recent changes. You will need to retrieve, and unpack
BOTH the shim and a data file with
which the shim tarball is designed to work.
We keep track the latest published set that works together
automatically in our release process as to
content down the FTP link at the top of this page.
The two most recent such tarballs are to be unpacked
in the same directory point, such that a symlink in the 'shim' tarball
will properly point up and over into the correct (versioned) data directory
part. You may verify the expected matching data file,
using this minimal test:
$ tar tzf shim-090227.tgz | grep [0-9]/sym$
lrwxrwxrwx pippin/pippin 0 2009-02-10 11:03:41 shim-090227/sym -> ../data-090210/
so in this case a file containing: /data-090210/ is needed ..
not surprisingly this is: data-090210.tgz
