So I think it's best to use the slightly shorter nightly URL and keep it non-wrapped. Or actually, it's best to add a manual.html -> downloads/manual/manual.html symlink to the website and refer to that. This fits easily: http://buildroot.org/manual.html#faq-no-binary-packages And it also makes it easier for us to refer to the manual in other places. Peter, what do you think of such a symlink?
