Where to find authoritative release of SigTest?

[Martijn Verburg]

Hi all,

We (https://adopt-openjdk.ci.cloudbees.com/job/sigtest/) is
deliberately building the latest stable (3.1) binary.  Happy to add
another job to build and produce a nightly build based on the latest
source if that helps?

CCing in the adoption-discuss list as that's where Mani and other
folks who manage that discuss these things.
Cheers,
Martijn
