I assume you mean the contents of https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/emacs-27/
In order to check for updates, can you also push a .txt or .json file
with enough information to identify the installer's version (which I
assume is also the Emacs version) and other metadata, like what DLLs are
included or even a manifest?
Then it will be easier to implement something in Emacs to check for
available updates on that platform by looking at that version.
Thank you!
Ted
