>Description:

If I create a package with the name foo-beta-1.0 using the pkg_add
command:

	pkg_create -v -f pkg/PLIST -c pkg/COMMENT -d pkg/DESC \
		foo-beta_1.0

I end up with a file called "foo-beta_1.0" that is in .tar format,
even though I get the message "creating gzip'ed tarball in ...".

If I do the same command, with a different name:

	pkg_create -v -f pkg/PLIST -c pkg/COMMENT -d pkg/DESC \
		foo-beta_1_0

a file called foo-beta_1_0.tgz is created which /is/ a gzipped tarball.

My half-assed guess w/o looking at the source code is that someone's
trying to do some suffix stripping.

>How-To-Repeat:

	

>Fix:
	
I don't care if the final product says .tgz or not, but it should be
consistent on gzipping the tarball, and this behavior needs to be
documented.  Ideally, it should always create a .tgz file, so there's
no need to change the documentation. :-)
