Hosting nightly builds

[Lwmte]

I strongly suggest to leave SourceForge, because it is now extremely unstable and constantly goes offline (including now). Moreover, they tend to "hijack" project pages which migrated to other resources, replacing provided binaries with crapware-filled installers. So we're at risk.

For example, the story of VLC: https://blog.l0cal.com/2015/06/02/what-happened-to-sourceforge/

I really liked SourceForge, say, five years ago. But now they look more and more like some fake gateway torrent tracker.

Well, I have some webspace... ;)

You mean private hosting? That's good idea, but in this case we also need a completely new website to make a "gateway" page for downloads with current version info, updates, news, etc. Current github.io website have no such functionality.

Also, unfortunately, private hostings have a tendency to vanish after a few years... I still can access old binaries on SourceForge (no matter how evil it became now), while I'm not sure if I would be able to do so with some private hosting.

I believe the proper way is to switch nightlies to Github, but for the release versions we indeed can make an independent website.

I have opentomb.org domain registered and can make any redirection, if needed.

Well, it was only an offer, not a proposal.

Do we actually have a working nightly build service? Last nightly build was June, 29. Anything would be better than nothing.
