We could certainly add some symlink(s) to the "latest" stable/released version that is updated whenever we do a release. What kind of naming/link is the most convenient? Should it just be a link to the latest release dir? https://sourceware.org/elfutils/ftp/latest/ -> https://sourceware.org/elfutils/ftp/0.172/ Or would a direct link to the source tar ball and signature file be better? https://sourceware.org/elfutils/ftp/latest/elfutils-latest.tar.bz2 -> https://sourceware.org/elfutils/ftp/0.172/elfutils-0.172.tar.bz2 https://sourceware.org/elfutils/ftp/latest/elfutils-latest.tar.bz2.sig -> https://sourceware.org/elfutils/ftp/0.172/elfutils-0.172.tar.bz2.sig Or some other scheme? We could also have the buildbot create a "latest" or "current" from git once all builds are green for example. Which brings up the question, should we use "stable", "current" or "latest" as link name, or is there a better, more standard name to use for that? What do other projects use? Thanks, Mark
