Julia: Currently no way of downloading a Julia 0.5 binary

[baggepinnen]

There seems to be now way to download a Julia 0.5 binary at the moment. The stable releaser binary is Julia 0.4.6, while the nightly build binary is Julia 0.6.

It should still be on the website somewhere.

[KristofferC]

https://github.com/JuliaLang/julialang.github.com then?

[ChrisRackauckas]

Yes.

[baggepinnen]

The binary from the google groups page worked fine for me. Am I supposed to be able to install different binaries from the https://github.com/JuliaLang/julialang.github.com link?

[KristofferC]

I just meant that is the repo for the website so if it is a website issue it might be better there.

[ChrisRackauckas]

You (or someone else) should open a pull request which adds links to the release candidates on that repo.

I would wait to hear from @tkelman on what the process is.

[tkelman]

did we add links to the release candidates to the website last time?

[ararslan]

I believe so; I distinctly remember downloading the dmg for a 0.4-rc and I don't know where else I would have gotten it.

I put up a PR on the Julia website repo to add links to the 0.5-rc binaries.
