Today I put an initial set of Emacs 30 "snapshot" binaries for Windows on GNU alpha. In the process, I created a new folder for emacs-30[0]. At the moment, this folder is without the customary README. I've attached a patch that suggests changes based on how I name the snapshots, locally, when building them. All of this is totally open to discussion :) Previously snapshot builds included a (rather nebulous) date, e.g.: emacs-30-YYYY-MM-DD-no-deps.zip. Locally, my snapshots, instead of any date, include the git revision short-code effective in the source tree where the build is taking place, e.g.: emacs-30-28a9438169f-no-deps.zip TIA for sharing your thoughts; I can easily rename files, including those already posted if necessary. Background: The file admin/nt/dist-build/README-windows-binaries is usually placed at the root of each new folder that will contain windows binaries, for example the "emacs-30" folder for snapshot (and eventually pre-release) builds from (as currently called) "master". The attached patch updates this file to reflect a change in how I've been naming snapshot binaries, locally. Snapshot binaries are in-tree source builds, rather than being made from a release --or prerelease-- tarball.
