How to provide current build outputs of current geneweb/master branch ?

It would be interesting to deliver in Release page (https://github.com/geneweb/geneweb/releases)
the build outputs of geneweb/master branch each time a new PR is merged in it.

This would avoid users to wait for 'official' release delivery for test purpose (last one is v7.0.1-alpha2 dated August 2023 !

As a quick and dirty solution in my own fork:

• In a new master_20240405 branch
• I am creating a new masterbuild.yml that is a copy of release.yml with few changed lines.
  https://github.com/michelmno/geneweb/blob/master_20240405/.github/workflows/masterbuild.yml

$diff -u .github/workflows/release.yml  .github/workflows/masterbuild.yml

• This yaml script is triggering the build and save build outputs in Release of my fork.
  https://github.com/michelmno/geneweb/releases/tag/master_20240405
• any users may grab related zip and install geneweb from there, after installation the source of the build is correctly reported and git url correctly set as per notifications at bottom of following image
  

Advantage of this solution:

• do not need to be admin in geneweb, only need to fork and manage in your own fork.
  Cont:
• duplication of yaml
• multiple sources of released packages.

Any comments welcome.
