a better idea would probably be that each package gets its folder where
releases can be put into, e.g.:
/tags/zexy/zexy-2.1/
the reason for the flat hierarchy was, that deep hirarchies often tend
to confuse more than not, at least if several unorganized people are
involved (like we are): while more scrolling is involved in the flat
hierarchy (seemingly more of a mess), inhierarchical structures it might
eventually turn out that we have /tags/foo-1.0 but
/tags/externals/bar/bar-2.0, which makes bar-2.0 much harder to find in
relation to foo-1.0

right; even if we do it like A, we can revise the directory structure to
B later on :-)

i think there are currently no real objections against staying at
sourceforge (at least, i had planned to put it there; just for the sake
of all the developers already having an account there (and knowing their
passwords))
