consistent naming in ZEO releases
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. The inconsistency between releases is quite annoying. I know that I've been hit by it both from DCOracle2 and ZEO. The actual Zope releases have at least been consistent. Sorry for the rant. --andy.

Why does it matter? Chris

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.
how about you change your code so it attempts to download both .tgz and .tar.gz? jens On Monday, Nov 25, 2002, at 09:03 US/Eastern, Andrew Sydelko wrote:

I'd use CVS instead. Regards Tino

No doubt you had to change alot more too. This was a major release. Lots of things changed between ZEO 1 and ZEO 2. I think you picked a bad example; I agree it should be consistent between minor releases of the same product.

I suppose. But why the change at all? --andy.
I used distutils sdist to build the releases for ZEO and ZODB. I let distutils pick the file extension. Jeremy
