The w_latest and d_latest eups tags are only available for source packages. The binary package roots contain only specific date tags. But it would be convenient to get binary tarball installs for w_latest and d_latest.

The tarball tags are set in the tarball.groovy pipeline script. This could potentially be expanded to declare w_latest or d_latest as appropriate. But note that knowledge of the _latest tags is currently only held in the top-level release scripts; cleanly embedding it in or passing it to this lower-level code may require refactoring.

Note that there is no protection currently against setting the _latest tags for reruns of the weekly or nightly release process for past dates for which the _latest tag might not be appropriate.
