[Vtigercrm-developers] Release naming

[Callum Macdonald]

Hi Guys,

I think the naming of releases should be simplified. I suggest Joomla 
provides a good template to use (with one or two improvements):
http://forge.joomla.org/sf/frs/do/viewRelease/projects.joomla/frs.joomla_1_0.1_0_11

vtiger 5 patch 2 and vtiger 5.0.2 are confusing names. It is not clear 
from what version you can apply patch 2, and so on. I suggest we use the 
same method as Joomla. When a new version is released (5.0.2) then the 
following files are released:
vtigercrm-5.0.0-to-5.0.2-patch.zip
vtigercrm-5.0.1-to-5.0.2-patch.zip
vtigercrm-5.0.2-full-windows.exe
vtigercrm-5.0.2-full-linux.bin
vtigercrm-5.0.2-full-lamp.tgz

<http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/vtigercrm/vtigercrm-5.0.0-patch2.zip?download>I 
think it's important to include the windows/linux/lamp in the file name. 
I know it's obvious from the extension to MOST people, but not to everyone.

I also think these files should all be released in the same package in 
sourceforge. In my opinion, splitting the full and patch releases is 
confusing.

I think this is a HUGELY important issue, as important as the recent 
heated debate over the naming of the GA release.
