[Vtigercrm-developers] Release naming (package naming)

[Callum Macdonald]

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.
