Thats in the tags, yes. We continue to have have trunk, SQUID_3_1, etc.

I'm talking about the configure.in label which falls through to the
tarballs, ${tmpdir}/*/squid-N.tar.gz and
${basedir}/Versions/vN/N.M/squid-N.M.tar.gz paths

As for existence of 3.2.0.0, we dont actually package any such release
right now. AFAICS all of the head "alpha code" snapshots come under that
moniker, but the first 3.2 official beta release is 3.2.0.1 when we are
sure the branching has not broken the server.

Okay. Can we start discussion on that now. So that it gets cleared up
before 3.2.0.1 starts packaging?

mksnapshot.sh to get it working again will needed a special case of
$VERSION created to alter the output tarballs from *-3.HEAD-* to *-HEAD-*

Thats what I can see so far, there may be more in the scripts downstream
or upstream of mksnapshot.sh in the packaging process.

The two tarball and website URL paths caused by the above right now.

That can be done by dropping "HEAD" and making it "3.2.0.0" or "3.HEAD".
I'm happy with either so far as the tarball cases go.
