This is what the hook is doing:

    for ext in gz xz ; do
        echo "generating tarball dpdk-$ver.tar.$ext..."
        wget http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/snapshot/dpdk-stable-$ver.tar.$ext
        mv -f dpdk-stable-$ver.tar.$ext /srv/rel/dpdk-$ver.tar.$ext
    done
    echo "MD5 (to copy in HTML page)"
    md5sum /srv/rel/dpdk-$ver.tar.xz

All is possible.

I am not in favor of having two copies with different names because it
would bring more questions.

When listing tarballs, it is easier to have the same prefix for all:
	http://fast.dpdk.org/rel/

We could rename the directory inside the tarball but we would have
a different checksum compared to the one in cgit:
	http://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/refs/

Or we could change the prefix in cgit with repo.snapshot-prefix:
	https://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/tree/cgitrc.5.txt#n590
However I guess it would change every old tarballs.

Opinions?
