You can look at ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/snapshots/ for an example of what they used to look like (packagename-svn-$revno.tar.bz2). This was made easier by later having symlinks available (packagename- svn.tar.bz2) (added by myself :P, see svn revision 458465 of kde- common/release/dosnapshot) but I can confirm it was a pain in the ass from a scripting perspective. Of course for packagers they wouldn't be using Subversion snapshots but plain tarball snapshots, although those suffer the same issues. In fact it was worse because the directory name that was extracted to was unpredictable (e.g. kdeadmin.tar.bz2 extracts to kdeadmin-1233410/). Regards, - Michael Pyne
