Hi,

It would be easier for me if the version of CVS snapshots follow the 
normal versioning rules. SO instead of

	0.99	->	1.0CVS-2003-06-26	->	1.0

it would be much better to do

	0.99	->	0.99.1.20030626		->	1.0

So that it is obvious for a packaging system which comes after which.
Now I have to rewrite it as follows:

	0.99-0	->	1.0-0.cvs20030626	->	1.0-1

So I'd rather do

	0.99-0	->	0.99.1.20030626-0	->	1.0-0

And not have to internally rewrite version and release which is pretty 
time-consuming and is useless waste of time ;)

It would also be easier if a link to the tarball was inside the mail, so 
that I don't have to fire up a browser, click, download, move to another 
destination, copy filename into SPEC file, etc... ;)

Anyway, a new package is available. You have to use ftp if the mirrors 
aren't updated yet.

Kind regards,
