I guess many of you have projects on SF and know this already, but the changes is part of the new easy-to-use File Release System. Read more http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Release%20files%20for%20download Regarding the structure of existing packages/releases - quoting http://sourceforge.net/apps/wordpress/sourceforge/2009/07/22/file-release-system-frs-update-complete-2009-07-22/ We have also converted existing FRS data into a simple hierarchy based on existing package and release names. If you contact Daniel Hinojosa (Sr. Manager, SourceForge.net) he will probably tell you how the conversion is done for existing packages. For new packages/releases there is no pattern - it's up to every package maintainer to decide the directory structure. In other words, the project/whatever/whatever/ must be set in each port - not just the filename. Hans
