Hello @geek1011 ,

In https://github.com/geek1011/kobopatch-patches/releases, may I suggest attaching only the binary connected to the version in question, and not all the versions.

For example, in https://github.com/geek1011/kobopatch-patches/releases/tag/v61, currently there are 24 assets:

kobopatch_4.10.11591.zip kobopatch_4.10.11655.zip kobopatch_4.11.11911.zip kobopatch_4.11.11976.zip kobopatch_4.11.11980.zip kobopatch_4.11.11982.zip kobopatch_4.11.12019.zip kobopatch_4.12.12111.zip kobopatch_4.13.12638.zip kobopatch_4.14.12777.zip kobopatch_4.15.12920.zip kobopatch_4.16.13162.zip kobopatch_4.17.13651.zip kobopatch_4.17.13694.zip kobopatch_4.18.13737.zip kobopatch_4.19.14123.zip kobopatch_4.20.14601.zip kobopatch_4.20.14617.zip kobopatch_4.20.14622.zip kobopatch_4.21.15015.zip kobopatch_4.9.11311.zip kobopatch_4.9.11314.zip Source code (zip) Source code (tar.gz)

I think there should just be 3:

kobopatch_4.21.15015.zip Source code (zip) Source code (tar.gz)

What would be the purpose of this? I often provide updates to the patches which go back many versions, and there are still many people using older versions. Also, doing this simplifies linking to the latest release for a version.

I might consider removing 4.9.*, though, as they break the sort order, I haven't made changes to those for a while, and there hasn't been too many downloads of those versions recently.

Oh, I didn't realize that you provide updates to patches for older versions.

What would be the purpose of this?

It is a cognitive hurdle to see which is the latest version. There are two factors behind this:

Version number (e.g. v61) doesn't match the latest zip file's version (e.g. kobopatch_4.21.15015.zip)
The assets are not listed on version order (as you say, sort order is broken).

But how does this make it harder? You never need to look at the version number in most cases

The assets are not listed on version order (as you say, sort order is broken).

Only for 4.9.*.

As there hasn't been any response, I'm going to close this issue for now.

Hi geek, I've been following this thread and appreciate your comments to it. But I just did not have anything else to say.

hub2git commented 4 years ago

From your comments, I learned that some people download older versions.
