This way the writing of the JSON file is handled automatically if the update does not fail.
It pave the way to further global improvements, such as a better error handling.
It may not be the best place for that (gha.py would have been better), but it's the shorter / faster way to do it for now.
Moreover it now uses logging for writing the group. The logger format has been updated for this to work. This was done to fix issues on GitHub Action logs, where groups were declared after the logs.
Make the script more readable, mostly by:
- changing slightly the logic,
- using the Product and AutoConfig classes,
- removing the use of functions when unnecessary,
- a little bit of renaming and documentation.
Disabled web.archive.org has also been re-enabled because HTTP retry mechanism has been improved and should handle timeouts a lot better.
AWS is no longer publishing the history on GitHub, so we
instead rely on older copies of the website to track the old
release dates. This is done at 2 cutoff points right now for
1.19 and 1.20.
Older releases are available on the web archive, but those
pages didn't include release dates so not helpful.
Create a common function to write resulting JSON files to the releases directory.
It makes this task simpler to read and maintain, while making it modifiable at a central point in the future.
One example of such modification could be the sorting of the versions in a uniform way for all the scripts.
This creates a common function to fetch HTTP URLs, with enhanced capabilities (retry, use of a known User-Agent).
It makes scripts that need those capabilities simpler, while improving other scripts.
This commit also fixes some scripts that did not log properly (cos.py, eks.py, haproxy.py, palo-alto-networks.py, rhel.py, ros.py, unrealircd.py).
