It's a scary amount of projects these days managed by a bunch of ZIP files:

  • Program-2.4.zip
  • Program-2.4-FIXED.zip
  • Program-2.4-FIXED2.zip
  • Program-2.4-FIXED-final.zip
  • Program-2.4-FIXED-final-REAL.zip
  • Program-2.4-FIXED-FINAL-no-seriously.zip
  • Program-2.4-FINAL-use-this.zip
  • Program-2.4-FINAL-use-this-2.zip
  • Program-2.4-working-maybe.zip
  • Program-2.4-FINAL-BUGFIX-LAST-ONE.zip
  • Program-2.4-FINAL-BUGFIX-LAST-ONE-v2.zip

  • Program-1.5-DeleteThis.zip
  • Program-1.6-ScuffedDontUse.zip
  • CanWeDeleteThesePlease.txt (last edit 8 months ago)

Inspired by a small collaboration project from a few years ago.

If we're talking actual builds then zip files are perfectly fine as long as the revs make chronological sense.
