Naming convention for pn.com downloads

Contributed by very good ideas. if on Dec 20, 2001 - 03:50 PM

In the DL section of Postnuke.com: PN hacks the first dl is called UCD_download.tar.gz.


It's a hack allright but WHAT FOR ?


Is it for 0.64, for .701 .702 or for windows 3425 ?


Noone knows and noone could know !!


Would it be to much to ask from all people releasing downloadable archives to name the files much more clearer? For example:


packname.packversion.pnversion.extension


in the above example would be:


UCD_downloads.0.064.tar.gz




I am sure others will agree with me


Please take this into consideration, make it a requirement and make a public announcement .


I am sure that the procedure will be adopted by everyone in a short while and it will save everyone a lot of time and troubles.




This improvment will make the PN along with developer products more accesible and easy to be installed.




Thank you and congrats from Romania on a very well done job.
