Hi,  
Are there currently issues with the nightly Julia build (windows)?  
If yes, where can I see the issue affecting the build process?  
Thank you  
Kind regards

There’s some work going on to get a nightly channel in juliaup: [nightly channels rebased by visr · Pull Request #384 · JuliaLang/juliaup · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaLang/juliaup/pull/384)

That’s not quite relevant to the specific issue here, which was not related to Juliaup.

The specific issue here (Windows `.zip` nightlies being old) was introduced when we transitioned Windows CI from Buildbot to Buildkite. During the transition, we lost the `.zip` uploads (but retained the `.tar.gz` uploads).

This issue will be fixed by the following PR: [[windows] Upload `.zip` files by staticfloat · Pull Request #245 · JuliaCI/julia-buildkite · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaCI/julia-buildkite/pull/245)

@gitboy16 Thanks for reporting this issue!

The Buildkite builds can be viewed here: [julia-master](https://buildkite.com/julialang/julia-master)

More generally, if you are interested in helping out with the CI build process, we’re always looking for more people to join us in the `#ci-dev` channel in the [Julia Slack](https://julialang.org/slack/).
