https://ziglang.org/download/latest/ does not exist. From what I can tell with my limited zig-knowledge zigup.zig downloads download_index_url = "https://ziglang.org/download/index.json" and I don't see how it gets this latest/ path .

I think you're looking for zigup master. latest isn't a special reserved version so it's trying to interpret it as a version specifier (i.e. 0.14.0-dev.2271+f845fa04a). It would be nice to improve this error message but having non-special versions has valid use cases, for example you can copy a versioned subdirectory and name it whatever you want and just switch to it via zigup my-custom-version.

If I try to download a nominated zig version like 2024.10.0-mach with zigup 0.14.0-dev.1911+3bf89f55c, I also get a 404 error.

I just looked up the latest nominated version from here.
