Config option "current version link" does not work.

The example configuration for fdroidserver contains options make_current_version_link and current_version_name_source (master https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/-/blob/master/examples/config.py#L97) do not work at all.

I tried it on a complete new init'ed fdroid repo, with example config from master branch. Only change is to enable current version options. screenrecord

With it enabled, I expected a symlink from i.e. net.gsantner.markor_113.apk to net.gsantner.markor.apk which is not the case. I want to point users to a constant URL to get the latest version of an app.

For official F-Droid repos this config could be disabled, still I would expect/vote for it to be enabled. (So I could give URL https://f-droid.org/repo/fdroid/net.gsantner.markor.apk for example to users to always install latest version without neding any F-Droid client.

I don't know about the implementation, but if it's only about the embedded webserver I don't see any real use. Most F-Droid repos are served from filesystem, and repo content copied/mirrored around.

fdroidserver version: 1.1.7-1~bionic (2020-05-15)
