People building freeciv from source code usually either build from a release tarball, or a development version directly from the version control repository. There's some differences between building from a tarball and from git, and it's not impossible that someone would prefer building from a tarball even when wanting a development snapshot (not a release) built.

So, if I implement nightly tarball creation and upload to files.freeciv.org, would anyone use those? Would probably do it for all branches (S3_0 / S3_1 / master) at once, so both "latest bugfixes" for a stable version and "latest features" for development versions would be available.

Implemented as osdn #44347.

The tarballs are get uploaded to http://files.freeciv.org/nightly/ now.

The old location for them to be along with the Windows specific installer_cross builds was only a quick temporary solution to make them available at all.
