Suggest appending version number to downloads of web2py

[NeonGoby]

I think having the version number as part of the web2py distribution
file will be helpful.

This was suggested a number of times. The problem is that it breaks
automatic downloads and future automatic uploads becaue they would
require knowledge of the version. Anyway instead of

http://web2py.com/examples/static/web2py_src.zip

you can access

http://web2py.com/examples/static/1.74.5/web2py_src.zip

and you will be able to download a specific version. I do not store
all previous versions but I store the last 10 or so.

Thanks fine,

It's to help me keep track of what version I've downloaded. On my
server, I unzip and rename the web2py to web2py_version, so that I can
keep the prior version in case I encounter problems with the new
version, and I simply create a symbolic link to the desired version.

Hi NeonGoby,

Use this: (on Linux desktop)

wget -O web2py_src-1.74.5.zip http://web2py.com/examples/static/1.74.5/web2py_src.zip
