1. Source directory

   Magnus Hagander <mha@sollentuna.net> — 2006-12-04T13:39:36Z

   What's the rationale behind naming the 8.2.0 version directory 8.2?
   Given that the files in it are named 8.2.0?
   
   It breaks a whole set of scripts for me :-( FOr example the ones used to
   load the docs on the website (which is why I noticed it - most others I
   don't use on .0 versions).
   
   I know we've done similar things in the past, but I fail to understand
   *why*... ;-)

   It's a mistake that was pointed out days ago but still not corrected.  
   Someone please rename the thing.

   No, don't - otherwise the download links and mirrors are will be out of 
   sync for a day or so preventing people downloading easily.
   
   Add a symlink, then rename in a couple of days should be safe though.
