Prerequisites

  • I am running the latest code. Mention the version if possible as well.
  • I carefully followed the README.md.
  • I searched using keywords relevant to my issue to make sure that I am creating a new issue that is not already open (or closed).
  • I reviewed the Discussions, and have a new and useful enhancement to share.

Feature Description

I don't know who maintains https://cosmo.zip/pub/cosmos/zip/ but I'm assuming it's this repo.

I want to get the latest release version of the cosmos, but the latest zip files at this dir are unversioned.

Motivation

It's hard to grab a specific recent version of cosmos.zip, because the last versioned file at https://cosmo.zip/pub/cosmos/zip/ is cosmos-3.3.1.zip from February.

For instance, currently "cosmos.zip" has a visible date field of "01-Jul-2024 10:30", which is from today, but there were two releases today (3.5.3 and 3.5.4) and I don't know which version is the file (and whether the date is UTC or local...).

I can't even be sure that it refers to any specific release or to some random git commit.

So it would be nice to restored the versioned cosmos files.

Few more notes:

  • It could be ueful to keep prior versions for posterity, but currently "cosmos.zip" (and git.zip and web.zip) are just updated occasionally, and their prior version disappears as far as I can tell. If there's a hosting space issue then maybe just keep the last few versions, or maybe the latest minor version of each major version, or any other set of select versions which were deemed useful to keep.
  • It might be useful if the zip contained a version and/or git-hash, maybe in a file VERSION inside the zip?
  • web.zip seems to be a superset of git.zip. It might be nice if web.zip includes only the additional utils (curl, wget, links) without git. Or maybe just remove git.zip? because web.zip is not much bigger than git.zip, because most of web.zip is git...
