Will someone upload a (signed) 0.92pre2 binary to the website? It's a good chance to try the process out ;-)
Hi Maren,
I just uploaded fresh .exe and .msi installers to [1]. Only 64-bit versions right now, maybe I'll upload 32-bit versions later today (or rather early tomorrow). I went with the md5-checksum option for now (simply because I don't have a GPG key).
The upload process was a bit sluggish: While the .exe installer uploaded more or less flawless (the lack of any progress indicator is a bit inconvenient) the .msi installer was more problematic. The first upload request (I started it while still uploading the .exe installer) timed out with an HTTP 504 error (gateway timeout). I subsequently tried again with the request resulting in an HTTP 502 error (bad gateway). However the files were apparently fully uploaded despite the errors since they showed up in my gallery afterwards. Here I faced yet two other issues though: The first time I tried to access the MSI installer the page tried to display the file content to me with the over 70 MB of data effectively locking up my browser! Trying to move the .msi file to my gallery did not succeed. Only after some time I was able to move the file and view it normally (i.e. without "preview").
Best Regards, Eduard
