Hi! I know I have no influence what is going to be done but I'd like to second Jason on this one. I was working on some scripts and at least in my case if there was no standard about -version-release.tar.gz I would be completely lost how to determine which part of a package is name, version and release. Please think twice before tampering with it. Regards waldek _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
