Target release:
This is an issue stemming from the plone.org upgrade I think.

This release:
http://plone.org/products/plone-hotfix/releases/20071106-2
included this file:
http://plone.org/[…]/PloneHotfix20071106.tar.gz
(It might not any more because I'm about to fix this for this particular product.)

whereas this older release:
http://plone.org/products/plone-hotfix/releases/20071106
includes a file of the same name:
http://plone.org/[…]/PloneHotfix20071106.tar.gz

The problem is that when you try to download the tarball for the "-2" release, what you really get is the tarball for the older release. I assume it's a problem due to the duplicated filename.

I don't see any good reason to have two files with a similar name.

We'll add a policy that will raise an error if a project gets an upload of a file that is already available in another project.

No responses can be added.
