Hiya,

I’m the maintainer of the jmol port for macports. This means that I provide a 
file that tells the macports system where it can download the current version 
of jmol (I attached a sample port file, just so you get an idea). 
Unfortunately, it seems that the naming convention for Jmol binaries has 
changed with the last release 14.0.17. Instead of Jmol-14.0.17-binary.tar.gz 
(or Jmol-${version}-binary.tar.gz in general), the archive is now called 
Jmol-14.0.17_2014.06.09-binary.tar.gz. This means that macports no longer finds 
the binary from the port file its current form, the port is now broken and I 
need to fix it. 

In order to do that properly, the answers to a number of questions would be 
very helpful.

Is this a permanent change, i.e. will all future releases be named in that 
fashion (or at least until further notice)?

Would you consider going back to the old way of naming distribution files?

What is the actual version number? Is it 14.0.17 or is it 14.0.17_2014.06.09?

Will there ever be two binaries with the same first part of the version number, 
but a different date in the second part?

Thank you!

Peter
