Bug #5445
closedKepler 2.2.0 tar file should create a kepler-2.2.0 directory
0%
Description
The Kepler download page at
https://kepler-project.org/users/downloads
has a link for the Kepler-2.2.0 linux tar file:
https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler/releases/installers/2.2/kepler-2.2-linux.tar.gz
Unfortunately, this tar file creates many directories in the
current directory instead of creating a kepler-2.0.0 subdirectory
and putting the many directories in that subdirectory.

bash-3.2$
To fix this, either create a new version of the Linux tar file or else
update https://kepler-project.org/users/downloads with a note that
the tar file should be untarred in an empty directory.

This did not get fixed in 2.2.0, but Jing's bug#5461 nicely sums up the problem, so I'm marking this older bug as a duplicate.
