List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: emacs-devel-bounces+ged-emacs-devel=m.gmane-mx.org@gnu.org Original-Sender: "Emacs-devel" Xref: news.gmane.io gmane.emacs.devel:289342 Archived-At: I think the point being made here is that binary releases, like source releases, should be version tagged, and once uploaded, should not be replaced in-situ (because that eg breaks checksumming, and is generally confusing). IMO the binaries uploaded to ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows should have some extra version string added to the filename, and it should be incremented if a new build is uploaded. Eg "emacs-28.1-version1.zip". Ref https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2022-04/msg01108.html for replacement of the original Windows files.
