[Gpg4win-devel] gpg4win-latest

[Jonathan Bennett]

Hey, gpg4win is a really cool project, thanks for all the work you guys do.

I am working on cross-platform project, Fwknop-gui.  It relies on gpg4win to support some functionality on Windows, using the gpgme lib.  On Windows, I am detecting if gpg is available, and if not, have an option to download the gpg4win install exe.

My concern in linking directly to that installer is that I don't want to cause someone to download an old version of gpg4win.  It's not practical for me to ship an update of fwknop-gui for every gpg4win update.

I can launch the download page in a browser, so the user always grabs the most recent release, but I like the idea of automatically grabbing the correct installation file.  A solution would be to also provide the latest release at https://files.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-latest.exe. That link would stay
updated, so other projects can point to it directly without worrying about what version is current.

Or if you guys prefer, I can just open the download page and ask the end-user to do the download.

Thanks!

Jonathan Bennett
