Unless you were referencing my comment about No, on the point that there are no unversioned files in the distfiles dir.= =20 Unfortunately there are. > non-versionned tarballs...

In so= me=20 cases it is not possible to change that name, in other cases the version is= =20 specified by a directory name. My solution would have the mirrors provide the versioned files only, but=20 specifying a transformation would enable automatic transformation of name o= n=20 both the mirrors, and at the user, for files that are not (or will not be)= =20 mirrored (yet).
