Hi,
I think this "latest" link is just a bad idea that was already discussed.
Why it is a bad idea?
-> the link is always moving (and it's not even a link)
-> it's wasting space (since it's not a symlink, but a file copy!)
-> we don't know if it should be updated for pre-releases or only for stable
releases
I think that it should be replaced by a single file named
"LATEST_IS_0.7.1". Btw, the ISO 0.7.1 has been announced on several
mailing list : sm-admin, sm-announce, sm-users. There is a post
on http://news.sourcemage.org and http://forums.sourcemage.org. I also
make an annoucement on freshmeat. All those annoucements have a DIRECT
link to the proper file.
So, how people belonging to the core sourcemage team STILL download
"latest" ??? Aren't you all suscribed to sm-admin (we have been told that
it's for developpers recently)?
Btw, did someone notice the new download area where you can see whole
filename? ... or am I just wasting my time? :-(
Waiting for comments,
Benoit PAPILLAULT, ISO Guru
