Ok, whoever is in charge of zope.com releases of things like DCOracle2, Zope and ZEO need to decide if the release file names are going to end in .tar.gz or .tgz.
Why does it matter?
I have a script that builds zope. And part of that script is going to get the tarballs. When they change the name I have to go and change the URL (normally I just set the version number). Here's an example: version['ZEO']='1.0' [snipped lots of other installs] package = 'ZEO' if version.has_key(package): ver = version[package] install(package=package, dir='src', url='http://www.zope.org/Products/ZEO/ZEO-%s.tgz' % (ver), checkfile='src/ZEO-%s' % (ver)) install is a function that uses the parameters in it to decide what to do. You'll see that when I switched to ZEO 2.0 I had to change the URL. And I shouldn't have to go look up the URL every time to make sure it's the same... That's the whole point of my script. --andy.
