The blender-2.71.tar.gz tarball was changed in-place, breaking distribution Manifests.

I suspect that release candidates are not properly marked as such and that you just re-upload the actual releases without renaming the tarballs.

That causes confusion for users and breakage for distributions. Please use the common naming conventions like blender-2.71_rc1.tar.gz

If you're talking about source tarball then the replacement was caused by the error made when making it's original version (it was done with master branch, not release branch). It was communicated in the ML i believe.

In any case, that's what happens once in a century and only caused by the error which wasn't made on a purpose. Apart from that we don't re-upload sources tarballs.

Binary releases have proper testbuild and rc mentions in them.

So thanks for the report, but there's nothing to fix actually.
