By the way dmd.2.066.1.linux.zip is still missing :(.

I did that when I did the redirects, but haven't backfilled it to the rest of the files.. just not worth the hassle.

I agree. I wouldn't need to screen scrape dlang.org in DVM.

I'd be much more inclined to keep a file called LATEST with the version number in it than having to maintain a ton of redirects each time.

(not present yet, but for example)
http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/LATEST containing one line:
2.066.1

Does require two trips to get the file you want, but less maintenance issues.

That's already available by scanning the dmd tags in github. We do that in dlang.org/posix.mak:

LATEST:=$(shell cd ${DMD_DIR} && \
  git fetch --tags ${GIT_HOME}/dmd && \
  git tag | grep '^v[0-9][0-9.]*$$' | sed 's/^v//' | sort -nr | head -n 1)

That would do the trick.

Can't use that because we tag a new version before releasing it, so for a few days services couldn't use LATEST.

Not 100% ideal but a lot better than the current approach.
