How to manually set the "default download" file in a Sourceforge project?

Tags:

sourceforge

When I update some files on my Sourceforge projects, the last uploaded file is always automatically offered on the download page as the "Looking for the latest version? Download..." and it becomes the default download from the project's front page.

My problem is that, on one project, there is the main source tarball but I also have some optional code components that I want to add to the site. Whenever I add such optional component they become the "latest verison" of my app.

Is there a way to force a file to become the "latest version" of the app so that it stays the default download on the main project page?

Why use SourceForge?

SourceForge provides a project with myriad tools for open-source development and community engagement. SourceForge allows you to store your project's source code under revision control. SourceForge can provide you with a Git, Mercurial, or Subversion repository.
