Legacy names (TinyTeX-1.tar.gz, .tgz, .zip) are still produced as backward-compat copies
The monthly workflow currently works — v2026.04 will be fine as-is. But some things need attention.
What works today
The sed rename pattern handles both old and new names correctly. All assets download and rename without issues.
What should be updated now
monthly-notes.md — Currently says "zip for Windows, tgz for macOS, tar.gz for Linux". Needs to document the new naming scheme and new platforms (ARM64, musl). PR Document ARM64 Linux bundles in README and release notes #52 partially addresses this but was written before the full naming change landed.
Redundant assets — Monthly releases will contain both old and new names for the same content (~double the files). We could optionally clean up legacy files after download to keep releases clean. Not harmful, just redundant.
What breaks if legacy names are removed from daily
If we removes the legacy copies from the daily build (per #37 comment, they're temporary):
The daily build now produces platform-specific filenames (rstudio/tinytex#484, rstudio/tinytex#486):
