I agree. It's along the same lines as only using file extensions for |
15 |
determining the filetype (and we all know how that turned out...). It |
16 |
*does* have the advantage of being really fast, though. |

Nevertheless, the basic bug is about changing the distfile repository |
19 |
format in such a way that a single repo can contain several distfiles |
20 |
built with differing build conditions. Putting metadata in the |
21 |
filename is only one way of ensuring that. |
