Description

Right now openvpn-gui tarball only has the major version in it, e.g. openvpn-gui-11.tar.gz. It would be good to have the full version in the tarball name for at least two reasons:

  • All the components combined by openvpn-build would be identifiable exactly from a git diff. Right now we only know that a certain Windows installer bundle has some openvpn-gui-11 version, not if it has 11.4.0.0 or 11.5.0.0 or whatnot.
  • Old minor version release tarballs would remain available on our download servers; right now they get overwritten on every openvpn-gui release.

I presented this idea earlier on openvpn-devel mailing list.
