Remco, you're right, I'm confusing package naming with release naming.
The release naming documentation states "The vtigercrm project no longer
produces Patches
<http://vtiger.fosslabs.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/wiki/PatchSubmission> for
distribution..." but there is a patch available here:
http://www.vtiger.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=57
Who releases that patch? It's really the name of the patches that I
think should be simplified, not the naming of the main releases.
Cheers - Callum.
