GitHub responds to Dear GitHub letter
I complain every 6 months about their "releases" page - eg this one for my project <a href="https://github.com/rogerbinns/apsw/releases" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/rogerbinns/apsw/releases</a><p>They unhelpfully add a "Source Code" link, which would be great if that is what it was.  Instead it is actually just a zip file of the repository at that tag.  But the repository is in a maintainer state, so the "Source Code" isn't useful to an end user because various tools need to be run (eg building help, automake/autoconf, dependencies).  The people mislead by Github due to this "Source Code" contact me, not github.<p>Every six months for several years, I send the email explaining how this doesn't serve anyone's interest, how it hurts, and that I am happy with any solution (eg don't auto add, change the name to make it clear, be able to label an existing file as the "Source Code" etc).  I get the usual response of understanding and sympathy, and vague suggestion that it may be addressed.  Three years and counting ...
