Log URL incorrect due to appended timestamp

[jezdez]

One thing I noticed is that chief seems to append a timestamp to the log URL nowadays, which makes the URL chief-james is showing isn't correct: https://github.com/mozilla/chief/blob/master/chief.py#L40-L45

Added here: mozilla/chief@41af16d

Any idea how to fix this?

That is problematic. A few ideas, listed in increasing difficulty.

• Stop linking to logs. 😦
• Link to the index page.
• Link to the sorted index page, which is easy to calculate.
• Parse the html of that sorted index page, and grab the first link, and paste that.

Thoughts?

@mythmon I think the last bit would be my favorite in the outcome but sadly this would mean adding a HTML parsing depedency like lxml, which sounds like way too much. So in that sense I think the best would be to simply point to the sorted index page.
