Description
## Abstract
Example: the file https://binaries.soliditylang.org/macosx-amd64/list.json should itself have a version information.
## Motivation
The latest release of `solc` had a re-publishing of the macos binary, see https://github.com/ethereum/solidity/releases/tag/v0.8.25
It would be helpful for tools that may cache this list information to know if there was a change that occured that did not include a new semver update (i.e. a new solc release).
## Specification
Use some sort of `calver` or number to make it clear.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by examining how https://binaries.soliditylang.org/macosx-amd64/list.json is generated and published, using the v0.8.25 release as the reported republishing case. Define and document the versioning scheme so tools can detect list changes that occur without a new solc semver release.
