Releases are named "2017.0" or "2018.0" in the announcements but report themselves to be 2017.0.0 and 2018.0.0 respectively while the filename has the third component or not (hugin-2018.0.0.tar.bz2 vs hugin-2017.0.tar.bz2). Beta/rc are using four different schemes: hugin-2019.0beta2.tar.bz2 hugin-2019.0.beta1.tar.bz2 hugin-2016.2.0-rc2.tar.bz2 hugin-2014.0.0_rc2.tar.bz2 This is unnecessary painful if you want to use something like Debian's uscan to automatically grab the latest release (and report its existence). I would suggest the following: * Announce the complete version and use it as filename component (Hugin 2019.0.0 released --> hugin-2018.0.0.0.tar.bz2) * For Beta/rc versions, still use the complete version number in both announcement and filename. In the filename separate the "beta1" from the regular version, and use a character that cannot appear in a regular release number for separation (not dot), e.g: hugin-2019.0.0_beta2.tar.bz2 or hugin-2019.0.0+beta2.tar.bz2 or hugin-2019.0.0~beta2.tar.bz2. I would prefer the ~. Choose one and stick with it. Thanks in advance, cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
