| When modular tarballs are part of a full X.Org release (7.0, 7.1, etc), |
| 9 |
| then they are named PN-PV-XORG_RELEASE.tar.(gz|bz2) and S matches. When |
| 10 |
| modular tarballs are independently released outside a full X.Org |
| 11 |
| release, they are named the standard way -- PN-PV.tar.(gz|bz2), same |

for S. |

Through working with upstream and other distributors, we've come to the |
| 15 |
conclusion that having upstream provide both versioned and unversioned |
| 16 |
tarballs is the best solution and avoids this issue entirely. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Take-home point: When upstream does annoying crap, talk to them about |
| 19 |
it. And when they disagree, find some friends and talk to them again. |
