hm, true. Somehow, I had thought this was not possible, but in fact it is. I think, the approach of stripping the version name is not all that bad though, because: - I have already committed it to SVN ;-) - This solution could easily be extended to something that is not (exclusively) GHNS-based. For instance, it may be a nice idea to allow the user to enter the URL of a plugin pack, directly. In this case we would not know the plain name. Possibly we could such a "manual download"-solution for plugins that we do not "trust" enough to feel comfortable about placing them in the repository. - We can base deletion of old files on an identical guess (see below). > i see. i'd hesitate to remove things here automatically by guesswork... > maybe, at a later point, we could add some straightforward dialog that > just lists all archives in that folder, with checkboxes to mark for > deletion, so one could clean up manually? Hm, that sounds like a good deal of work, both for developing this interface, and for the user to clean up, manually. I think the guesswork that I've implemented in SVN is not all that bad. For instance, these files will all be detected as different versions of the same plugin pack: my_plugins-0.1.tar.gz my_plugins-0.2.zip my_plugins.zip while these will be detected as belonging to different plugin packs: my_plugins-0.1.tar.gz my_plugins_extended-0.1.tar.gz further, my_plugins-0.1.doc will be left alone. Does that sound safe enough? Regards Thomas
