Do you guys have any plans on implementing a static link to the current "latest" build for the headless package?

currently /get-download/0.12.29/headless/linux64 is dynamic
wheras /get-download/latest/headless/linux64
and /get-download/latest/experimental/headless/linux64
would allow for a more convenient way to script the download and install of headless servers

As a linux engineer and IT automation guru, I would like to +1 million this idea.

Recently I had a problem with the updater script made by user Narc (and init script by Bisa) in which there was only one update available (from 0.12.28 to 0.12.29), so my 0.12.26 could not be updated that way. I had to manually update the software.

Having that type of url would be awesome

This is a good idea. Very useful if you're running a server!

+1 from me for this, would be very nice for the init script from bisa!

+1 again here !

More or less simple change in build-script, big gain of usability.
+1, ASAP.

more importantly - did I post this in the correct forum? ;p

Why do you think it is not in the right board?

hmm, I was debating with myself if this would fit more properly in a "web site suggestions" rather than for the game itself since its not really game design related :p

Definitely need this!

Easy to add and a must have for hosting a server, I can't do anything but +1.

Linux Admin here, we absolutely need this! +1 for this and +rep for Bisa. Thanks for your scripts!

I U

Just so we're clear, I'm not saying I added it, I just found it there Not sure who and when added it and too lazy to look.

I love you regardless

From what I can tell, downloads the experimental release if available. I haven't been able to find a way to download the latest stable release. Does one exist?

Why would you wait for the stable ?
