[chirp_devel] Could we please get a "latest" symlink to the most recent daily build?

Wanting a URL like:

https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/latest/chirp-daily-latest.tar.gz

The exact format doesn't matter, the key is that there's a reliable
permalink to the latest daily build.

I'm putting together a Flatpak distribution channel. Flatpaks are
cross-distribution, containerized, desktop packages for Linux. I'm much
of the way toward having this automated via GitLab CI, but I still have
to change the URL *and* the SHA256 checksum between daily builds. What
would be better is if the URL remained constant and I only trigger a
build if the checksum changes, because calculating that is easy. Harder
would be scraping the site to determine the latest daily build,
constructing the download URL *and* updating the checksum. :)

Thanks.
