Why not switch to the quite common ".tgz" suffix instead of .tar.gz" and
replace dots in release numbers by underscores? this could be done almost
unambiguously (at least as long as package names do not contain '-'):
<package>-<version>-<port-level>.tar.gz
becomes <package>-`echo <release> | tr '.' '_'>-<port-level>.tgz
<package>-<version>-<port-level>.src.tar.gz
becomes <package>-`echo <release> | tr '.' '_'>-<port-level>-src.tgz
Thus all favorite download tools will be happy with th efiles to download
(and we even can look at the content of it with winzip... I know there is
problems with using winzip to install, although I don't know which ones, but
looking at the archive content should be OK).
Just a thought
