And for the actual release, it should Adding a single directory for each single ISO file adds complexity for users and wastes inodes. We don't need to hide the ISOs behind so many levels of indirection. That may appeal to your sense or orthogonality but it's a huge waste of time for anyone actually trying to download the files. The 4.9-RC directory that Ken suggested would at least not waste a new directory for each single file. > Currently, there is a significant inconsistency, which > needs to be fixed. IMO. It is consistent right now in that releases have their own directory, since they contain more than one file and will be around for a long time. The individual temporal files do not have their own directory. It is consistent with that design. Now that we're no longer doing 5 ISO images per release, we may not need ANY extra subdirs off the ISO-IMAGES dir, as we didn't have them before 4.4. - Murray
