When customers download the "latest" nightly build, the file is named "Latest-WebKit-SVN.dmg" with no revision number. It would be more helpful if grabbing the latest nightly returned the actual DMG filename (via HTTP redirect or a Content-Disposition header) so that users could be more specific about which version they're using instead of "the one from yesterday" (which is meaningless if you don't have their timezone) or "the one from April 25" (which is meaningless if there is more than one build for April 25).
The Latest DMG URL now redirects to the current image URL, so this is now fixed. http://nightly.webkit.org/builds/Latest-WebKit-SVN.dmg
This URL no longer works.
Well, it was fixed for a while! Mark, do you want to bring back the "Latest-WebKit-SVN.dmg" URL like these? http://nightly.webkit.org/files/trunk/mac/Latest-WebKit-SVN.dmg http://nightly.webkit.org/files/trunk/win/Latest-WebKit-SVN.dmg http://nightly.webkit.org/files/trunk/src/Latest-WebKit-SVN.dmg

Additionally, all of the links on nightly.webkit.org point to URLs that contain revision numbers. There is no way that I know of to get a build out of nightly.webkit.org that lacks a revision number.
