Emmanuel Bourg commented on MATH-1057:
--------------------------------------

It might be a good idea to rename the source archive for the next
releases to commons-math-3.x-bin.tar.gz, that's indeed confusing.

+1

But IIUC, the filename comes from the POM's "artefactId" (which must be
updated according to the TL package's name).
[So I guess that the parent POM must be modified so as to be able to
create a filename based on another variable (?).]
Try something like:

<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
            <executions>
              <execution>
                <configuration>
<finalName>commons-math-3-${project.version}</finalName>

If we do go this route, I would favor commons-math-3.x (i.e. toss
the -3- above); but I am ambivalent on this change.  It breaks
standardization in artifact names to make it less likely someone
looking at a tarball will mistake it for something it is not.  I
doubt we would consider making such a change in the jar name itself,
so I wonder if this really makes sense.


It's a convention; the "component" part could be the component's name
i.e. Commons Math could give "commons-math" as a base name; then the
artefacts (archives and JAR files) would be differentiated solely on
the version number:
  commons-math-3.3.tar.gz
  commons-math-3.3.jar

The current convention seems that the base name is derived from the
top-level package name (which could indeed be mildly confusing, hence
this thread):
  commons-math3-3.3.jar

But since the top-level package is renamed with each major version, it
is redundant to have the major number present both in the name and in
the version number.
