As 1.8rc4 just came out, I was trying to update my rc channel on both Linux and Windows. On Linux, it did work (after I had to do “juliaup self update” to get it to 1.7.20).

But on Windows “juliaup 1.6.12” does not see the rc4 binary. And it does not self update to 1.7.20 (says “No update available”).

Is this normal ? What can I do ?

> The process is probably a bit too convoluted at the moment. I monitor the release channel on Slack and try to understand when things are ready in terms of official builds being available for downloads, but there are always many steps discussed there, and it is not entirely clear to me when I can start to move things on the juliaup side. But when I have the sense that things are ready, I bump a build for juliaup. It takes about 10-15 minutes for the build to finish, then I deploy it to the dev ch…

You were right, now the self update works and rc4 is available. Thanks @davidanthoff !

Great!

One of my next projects is to have info about new Julia versions be delivered outside the Windows shop to Juliaup, so that these delays should be significantly shorter or go away entirely.
