<ul><li><strong>Assignee</strong> set to <i>Chris Cannam</i></li></ul><p>I agree, this would be very useful -- the current situation is not at all satisfactory.</p>
<p>To complicate matters, however, a project like <a href="/projects/easyhg/files">easyhg</a> of course has many "latest" files. We really want e.g. <a class="external" href="http://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/projects/easyhg/files/latest/windows">http://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/projects/easyhg/files/latest/windows</a> to redirect to <a class="external" href="http://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/attachments/download/130/EasyMercurial-0.9.8-Setup.exe">http://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/attachments/download/130/EasyMercurial-0.9.8-Setup.exe</a>, and so on for other tags.</p>
<p>Perhaps we need a shortcuts feature. Each download could have (optionally) one shortcut tag, such as "windows". The URL /projects/project_id/files/latest/shortcut_tag would then redirect to download the most recent file for that project that is marked as active and that has the given shortcut tag associated with it.</p> SoundSoftware Code Site - Feature #227: Provide link to the latest code release for the project web pagehttps://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/issues/227?journal_id=3902011-08-12T15:28:22ZChris Cannamcannam@all-day-breakfast.com
<ul></ul><p>... and perhaps /projects/project_id/files/latest/ could download the most recent active file without a tag.</p>
