Feature Request: Keep a common naming scheme for releases

Open noseshimself opened this issue 1 month ago • 1 comments

Please keep a common naming scheme across release versions. Right now you have to keep an eye on URLs, e.g.

https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/releases/download/1.4.2/borg-linux-glibc231-x86_64 for version 1.4.2 and https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/releases/download/2.0.0b19/borg-linux-glibc236 for version 2.0.0

Would it be possible to convince you to generate names like

borg-<OS>-<lglibc>-<architecture> across all versions? It would make automated tasks (including generation of Docker images) much easier.

I changed naming for 1.4.2 due to building binaries on github (which now includes both x86-64 and arm64 architectures, before it was only x86-64).

Will do the same change for 2.0.0b20 release.

This is already fixed in master:
