 It shouldn't. You really should change your release management procedures
 to fix this.

 Why not add the subsubsubrelease number to the tarball name
 (`giac-1.1.2-8.tar.gz`)? Or, you could drop version numbers altogether and
 use dates (`giac-20141009.tar.gz`) like some other projects do.

 But absolutely: '''never''' change a released tarball, no matter how
 bad/broken it is.
