+> Since v1.1.4, we have switched to producing statically linked binary with musl, preventing issues with openssl on various linux platforms. However, this changes the artifact name

So for a little a while, we need to manually re-upload a `-gnu.tar.gz` archive (which can be obtained by simply renaming the musl one) so that aikup can keep fetching artifacts on Linux prior to version `v0.0.11`. We can cease doing that once enough time has reasonably passed and enough people have switched to aikup.
