Recommendations when creating packs to distribute extensions:

Single extension[edit]

Name it with extension type and version at end

* com_extensionxyz_v1.0.zip
* mod_extensionxyz_v1.0.zip
* plg_extensionxyz_v1.0.zip

Multiple extensions pack[edit]

If creating zip/tar files that require unzipping prior to install name the zip accordingly:

* extensionxyz_v1.0_UNZIPME.zip

It's strongly recommended to use Package (Joomla 2.5 and higher) for multiple extensions. This avoids unpacking and is easily installable.

Test it[edit]

Please do test the zip/tar file and install it in a Joomla test server before release your file.
