I need to download some nightly build for rbt's CI steps. How long are we retaining the ones we have up on https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/releases/tag/nightly ?

It's configured to 4 days here

... if I understand that config file correctly, which I might not!

The 4 days is for a different URL where you need to be logged in to access it.
On https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/releases/tag/nightly it is 3 days. I've been recently fixing nightlies so there are some older ones but for the future you should assume 3 days. I also have two bash scripts if you want to see how to download the most recent one, see example usage here.

that's actually precisely the thing I need, thanks! If I need something stable longer-term I can just grab one and stick it in rbt's GH releases for now.

@Brian Hicks note that those scripts are to test if today's releases are uploaded and will fail if no release with today's date is present. So they do not exactly download the most recent release.
