Hello Fossil developers,
I was building the fossil binary yesterday and I've noticed that the
names of the tarballs aren't very userfriendly.
As I see it, there are two tarballs that one could use, one is from the
downloads page [1] and one is by using some strange SHA1 hash of the
release, as in the Arch Linux package [3].
When downloading file [1], you'll get an archive that has a different
file name than the included folder. The folder has different numbers
at the end:
fossil-src-201502231627
My point is that all filenames don't contain the actual version name,
which would be the really helpful information here. Could you please
change the names to the following format (or at least provide these
additionally)?
Name of the tarball: fossil-$version.tar.gz
Name of folder in tarball: fossil-$version
Also thanks for making Fossil, I use it a lot!
Kind regards,
robotanarchy
