[GRASS-user] Download release sources?

[Hernán De Angelis]

Hello Stefan,

Yes, I see. This is a good link of course. I also see now that the issue 
has already been disccused in the github repo for the page.

My humble opinion is that a new user (or an old but absent minded one 
like me) could easily miss this release page in Github. May be this 
could be easily solved with minimal extra clutter in the new page by 
just adding a line with link to the releases page in Github following 
the link to the main repository.

See the example below.

Best

Hernán
