Rules for package names

[rchastain]

Hello Fred!

I am thinking of writing a tutorial about MSEide installation, and maybe a script (at least for Linux).

There is a little thing that I noticed while installing v5.6.10.

For example, in mseide_5_6_10_linux_amd64.zip, there is a folder named mseide_lin64. Shouldn't it be bin? This is how Martin used to do, and it's simpler. (Of course, you are the master, and maybe you have a good reason to do it that way, but I wanted to say my opinion.)

I also notice that you changed the way to name the ZIP file itself. For example, mseide_5_6_10_linux_amd64.zip instead of mseide_linux_amd64_5_6_10.zip. This isn't very important, but why not keep the same order?

A last thing. To get MSEgui, we have to click on "Source code (zip)", isn't it? And the file is named mseide-msegui-5.6.10.zip instead of mseide_msegui_src_5_6_10.zip. So I would suggest to add a ZIP named like that in future releases.

My two cents.

Best regards dear Fred.

Hum, it is because you may install the 32 bit or/and 64 bit version on a mullti-arch system so different name for eaach folder is the easy way.
I have both mseide_lin64 and mseide_lin32 installed on my Debian 11 multi arch.
The same for Windows, mseide_win64 and mseide_win32 are installed on my Windows 10 system.
But if you find it too complicated, of course we will change it.

(Of course, you are the master, ....

Ho, non, please, I am not the master and never want to be, maybe a servant but not a master...

Yes, of course, what order do you prefer?

Yes, good idea.
