<DIV></DIV>Hi,<BR><BR>it's required a new version to be published, so that its
publication will signal that something has changed. If not, then it won't be
picked up by other services, e.g. replica services, as it would assume the
data hasn't been changed at all.<BR>In our particular case (DKRZ) we will see
files haven't been changed, provided that the checksums are properly
published, and will just link them to the older ones, allowing users to get
both versions (i.e. users that are already downloading files will be able to
keep downloading them, and not have to start everything anew because of this
renaming)<BR>(I can't see if the checksums are there because the node is not
accessible at this time)<BR><BR>We could use that information to infer what
happened and display it under the history information.<BR><BR>Maintaining the
same version provides no benefit for the publisher at all and creates the same
confusion to the user (which will see that files are missing).<BR><BR>Just my

8-digit date stamps, and he found everything to be correct with only
YYYYMM date strings.

necessary in specifying the time-periods, so I don't think we can
force them to rename their files. That being said, my hope was
everyone would use CMOR, so the file names would all follow the same
