The tarball is named 1.11-al20-src.tar.gz while CHANGES.koi8 mentions "ver 1.12". For packaging reasons, it would be great if this inconsistency is fixed with a new tarball

    Hi, you repacked the old 1.11-al20 tarball to a new one with different content. This means that people may have the same tarball with different content, which can lead to confusion. I would suggest to put the old 1.11-al20 tarball back, and rename the new one to something like 1.11.1 or 1.11.1-al20 instead

    Getting rid of the -al20 suffix on a newer repacked tarball would be very convenient as well, as distros tend not to accept dash in the version string

    OK, 1.11.1 tarball is now uploaded, but I see no reason to restore the previous wrong 1.11-al20.tgz file. Thanks!
