my recommendation is grass-5.0.2.tar.gz,
ie. $name-$version.tar.gz
where version is always a triplet, but could also look like
5.1.0pre1 pr 5.2.0rc1
[which implicates my proposal on how to name pre-releases and
release candidates - well, pretty common in the Free Software
world]

Using the suffix 'src' indeed is quite useless.
Instead, binaries should have some suffixes (which must indicate
the platform anyway).
