distfiles naming convention

[Starikov Sergey]

I've fetched the only available source release, file named BiblioteQ.d.tar.gz.
Am I right thinking letter «d» is it's version or not?
Why ignoreing standard OpenSource naming conventions?

[Guess Who]

No... the "d" refers to a directory. My source is sometimes in BiblioteQ.d.

What do you prefer? Are you using an automated program to retrieve the file?

What's the standard naming convention for the month?

[Starikov Sergey]

Not for the month, but for years I expect to see something like:

packagename-version.tar.{preferred compress alg suffix}

with packagename-version directory inside archive.

Keeping available all released sources.

The last question was supposed to be a joke. :o)

I don't keep past versions. I simply don't. I don't see their benefit. Both git and subversion have history data.
