Hello Li,
The links to the downloads tar files are kept consistent for a bit
of simplicity in our installation instructions. The files themselves
are in fact named with the version number, and a symbolic link in
our directory points to the most-recent release. The files for each
can be seen in the Previous
Versions link on each downloads page. For instance,
from the 64-bit
Linux (RedHat 6 and equivalent) page,
ftp://ftp.pmel.noaa.gov/ferret/pub/rhel6_64/previous_versions/
has a list of the current and older tar files. Can your process be
modified to use the tar files from those directories?

Dear Ferret developers,
I have developed a package manager ( https://github.com/dongli/packman),
which can be run on many systems (e.g., Mac OS X, Ubuntu,
CentOS). Ferret is also supported so that users can install
ferret by invoking only one command:
$ packman install ferret
PACKMAN will download the package file from its
website. The SHA1 is used for checking if the file is OK. Many
packages are distributed with version number in their file name,
such as gcc-4.9.1.tar.bz2, and the file is frozen for each
release. But I found Ferret package fer_source.tar.gz has no
version number, and it is always changed! This causes maintain
difficulty for me to support it.
So I would like to suggest that the version number
is added to the package file name. Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Li
