[oss-devel] oss source tarball name

[Yair K.]

Hi,

  Currently, the source tarballs are stored in the following manner:

   1) Latest stable tarballs are stored in /developer/sources/stable/$LICENSE/ 
and the name of the tarballs depends on the build number.
   2) Older tarballs are stored in /developer/sources/stable/attic/

This is a problem for those which use automatic scripts to build oss or 
package systems which build from source. The latest tarball's name depends on 
the build number, which means that the script must be updated every time a 
new build is released. If said script wants to keep using a build after a 
newer one is released, it still has to be updated, because the directory has 
changed.

  I suggest the following:
    A. A stable filename which gurantees to match the latest build.
    B. A stable filename which gurantess to match the current build (maybe 
having a copy already in attic/ ?).

Yours,
