Subject: [gentoo-dev] Release files/portage snapshots auxiliary files naming scheme

1 Hi,
2
3 Currently the files that accompany our release files (ISO images,
4 stages) are named in the following scheme:
5
6 *.asc for GPG signatures
7 *.md5 for MD5 sums
8
9 while the files that accompany our portage snapshots are named:
10
11 *.gpgsig for GPG signatures
12 *.md5sum for MD5 sums
13
14 I suggest we unify the naming scheme to the one currently in use by our
15 release files to avoid unnecessary confusion amongst our end-users -
16 unless of course there is a good reason for having different naming
17 schemes for release files and portage snapshots?
18
19 Sincerely,
20 Brix
