Thank you very much @aferrero2707. Once we have 3 users to confirm that this works for them, I'll go ahead and merge this.

Dug out this feature proposal, which has been open for a while. @probonopd please re-review, I don't think anyone will confirm anything here. I'd say, merge it, and if there should be problems, people can open new issues.

@TheAssassin can you confirm that it works for you?

[TheAssassin]

Never tried, and don't think I will get to that soon.

@aferrero2707 can you please add a description to the PR? What does it do? Thanks.

@aferrero2707 I am sure you are doing great work here, but could you please describe which issues this patch tries to resolve or which features it adds? Thanks.

The updated scripts in this PR add the following features:

• the release tag is passed as first parameter, thus allowing to use tags different from "continuous" (for example "nightly")
• the upload.sh tool only removes the release and corresponding tag if they actually exist
• a new upload_rotate.sh script is added, which does not delete/recreate the release and tag, but instead they add assets to the existing release (it still gets created if it does not exist)
• a new remove.sh script is added, which allows to remove from a given release the existing assets matching the given prefix & suffix patterns

Thanks @aferrero2707. Are you already using the improved version somewhere?

[aferrero2707]

@probonopd yes, here is an example: https://github.com/aferrero2707/rt-appimage/blob/master/.travis.yml#L35
