As the saying goes: You can't have the pie and eat it. There are conflicting goals: either we want to make clear that upstream sources are unaltered (which we agree is a good principle) and therefore name a source file modules-2.0.tar.gz or we strive for consistency and name it modules_2.0.0-8.tar.gz which looks as if we have altered the sources. But I very much like the idea of renaming the directory. After all, it contains pristine upstream material _plus_ our patches. -- Dirk Eddelb"uttel http://qed.econ.queensu.ca/~edd
