Gradle play plugin - How to change the default distribution package name

Help/Discuss
1

I have been looking for a way to change the default distribution package name (when you run gradle dist) from playBinary.zip to something like ${project.name}-${project.version}.zip. So far i have not made any headway. Is this possible? Any ideas how this can be achieved?

Many thanks.

You can set the baseName of the distribution to change the name of the zip:

model {
    distributions {
        playBinary {
            baseName = "somethingElse"
        }
    }
}

Above will produce build/distributions/somethingElse.zip.
