The reason I asked for this was that Youtube video emerged for people to test C7 and Fabian posted message about "latest", so since I already posted his message on Facebook and Google+ as a comment to Youtube Install video, it would be nice to have (by tomorrow?) "latest" pointing to last/only build so people do not start asking too many questions why it is missing. And I will make sure to warn them about non-production, even tho I do not think that will be the problem since those who want to try it only want to look at it. -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe StarOS, Mikrotik and CentOS/RHEL/Linux consultant
