Thank you! Suggestions like that is what I think would be useful in the manual eventually. We should consider other existing running practice in this area, it seems some GitHub release bots (whatever we may think about them) follow some release announcement patterns that may be useful to get inspiration from. Btw, it seems NEWS.org and README.org is another markdown-like format that is supported -- see for example https://github.com/djcb/mu/tree/master -- and maybe we want to consider that too eventually. I also recall *.adoc being supported. Maybe let's get some releases out using NEWS.md first so we know that works. Btw^2, my InetUtils release effort is stalled on having Guix having the perl Digest::SHA3 module -- https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/4505 -- so that announce-gen will work. I've not noticed any other *.md related problem, but maybe something happens when I actually try to push things out. >> What is a good improvement here?

InetUtils is even using the 'tar-ustar' format. On what systems will a symlink in a tarball lead to a failure? /Simon
