I think about adding the files on SF to

It cannot hardly be faster than mkdir releases and rsync
frs.sourceforge.net/some.path/lazarus.
It shouldn't be... In fact it will probably be less work than the
current process of publishing software on SourceForge.
With a ftp site you simply create a new release folder "v0.9.28.3" and
upload the various files into there. Update the "current" symbolic
link. Done! You only need one link on the website.
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/releases/current
That is a good idea, just what I had in mind, except that will need some
restructuring of the current directory layout, because currently you
choose first the OS and the version, so links in the wiki (per OS) don't
need to be updated as much.
"current" will always be a symbolic link to the latest release. At
this moment it will be:
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/releases/v0.9.28.3/
The developers can browse "current" and simply download the binary
they need for their platform. This process has been done for years by
just about everybody. For one, most Linux distros release new versions
like that.
As far as I know the already available download binaries are correctly
named indicating what it is and for what target or platform, so
nothing needs to change there either.
