That's the broad hint my rethoric should give.
But maybe I ought to be somewhat more clear in what I mean, on mailing
lists.

A GLEP seems like overkill for something like this. I would suggest
filing a bug for the release engineering team.

This is the correct approach, but people here hate making changes
unless it's coming from them and gives them merit.

Or just put each distro in a separate directory.  That's how I do it
here.  I have Mandriva, Gentoo and Kubuntu and also keep sysrescue and
Knoppix laying around as well.

You can always run 'wget -O  '.

You could write a GLEP? But then, you could just file a bug/ask somebody
responsible for the naming.

[gentoo-user] Perhaps add "gentoo-" in beginning of file name for iso files

2017-02-14 Thread scootergrisen 

When i download Gentoo Linux the file name might be called something like:
livedvd-amd64-multilib-20160704.iso

This might be fine if you just want that file and want to use it 
straight away.


But lets say like i just did downloaded multiple linux distributions 
because i want to test them out so i have like 10-20 iso files or what ever.


Then later one when i see the file name 
livedvd-amd64-multilib-20160704.iso i have no idea what distribution 
that was.


The other distributions i have downloaded all seem to start with the 
name of the distribution in the file name. I Think Gentoo Linux is the 
only one yet that does not.


So would it not be better to use a file name like this?:
gentoo-livedvd-amd64-multilib-20160704.iso
