If it is too difficult to make a script that treats f.ex.
X11_11.tgz and X11_2.tgz alike then it would help to
inform verbally at least when an archive had been updated.
Obviously the place for that is the file README.change.
With this a user of old release WrX who wants to try new
release YrZ could check which files have been changed in the
mean time. And to know perhaps that s/he just needs to
get the new file mulinux_yrz.tgz and that all the other files
are still up to date.

Betreff: Re: Version info in distribution file names
You are right. This choice is a problem.
Vantages for this choice are:
1) a easy administration of new releases and
image rebuilding (mu script)
2) i can upload, without removing old archive
3) DOSTOOLS can install any version
Addons changes with low frequency: what you think about different release
number of this archive? Can this confuse a little, I believe.
A direct inclusion of X11 and GCC in mulinux.tgz main archive is a bad
idea, I think.
muLinux is so small and mirrors can download ALL the web space with a
little effort, I believe.
