You are asking for CsoundVST to be in its own package, with a release field
instead of a concatenated filename, right? And that's all? I can do that
myself, we do not need to involve John Fitch.

I must say I am mystified by the wcCsound/Csound packages. Why don't you
ask John Fitch for file release administration priviliges?

Michael,

Please ask John to create a csoundvst release package on SourceForge,
and perform file releases of CsoundVST within that package.  Use the
release field to identify the version of the release--not the package
name concatenated with the version identifier.

I ask for this change so that the current stable csound source tarball
and RPM can be released in the csound package as version 4.23.1.
Currently, it is released in the wxcsound package and version 1.0.2,
which probably mystifies visitors to the site.

Note that there need not be a one-to-one correspondence between
packages and CVS modules, so even though CsoundVST sources are stored
in the csound module, there is no requirement that CsoundVST be
released in the csound package.

John

I have file release privileges, but I cannot create packages.  This is
why I cannot make a csoundvst package.  Besides, I didn't want to
change things without you being in the loop.

And yes, the wxcsound package is strange in that its current release
also contains a csound release.  That is what I am attempting to fix.
