I don't use releases much, so I may very well be misunderstanding this. Take what I'm saying with a large grain of salt.
I wanted to note that of the URLs that Davorpa put up, only the first two are broken. The third, which he lists as expected, actually works.
I looked at one of my projects which has releases set up. I tried recreating the .../releases/latest/download... url for it.
That sends it to my equivalent of his redirect URL, which fails as his does.
When I recreate his "expected" URL for my project, it works as his does. (Mine needs a v in front of the version number. It's not clear if that's meaningful or not.)
At this time I wonder whether either
- The redirect is going to the wrong URL, or
- Multiple URLs should be supported here but only some survive
The releases link on the repo webpage points to the Expected structure link, and works correctly.
I can't find a "how this is actually supposed to work" document, by which I could state clearly whether my repo is working as expected.
