**'''WARNING:''' The website update script keeps track of the different sheets in the spreadsheet file based on an internal ID. You '''must''' use the exact same sheet for every release. This means that you have to temporarily duplicate the downloads sheet and constantly update it while the porters submit their builds - you don't want to all builds at once right before the release. As soon as the release is about to get published, '''copy over all content of the temporary scummvm_downloads sheet to the productive one.''' '''You must not rename the old sheet under any circumstances, it will break the website!''' | |||
