I'd like to put in a vote for NOT treating '_' and '-' identically. While it is easy to use "apache1" and "apache2" instead of "apache_1" and "apache_2" -- it isn't so easy for packages (like bzip2) that already end with a numeral. I'm specifically thinking of: splitting bzip2 into a bzip2 and libbzip2 package, to allow multiple libbzip2 (DLLs) to coexist. libbzip20 and libzip21 are misleading, whereas libbzip2_0 and libbzip2_1 are clear.
In fact, I *thought* setup/upset didn't treat '_' any differently than 'a' but perhaps I was wrong... --Chuck Christopher Faylor wrote: > On Sun, Jan 13, 2002 at 10:12:48AM +1100, Robert Collins wrote: > >>If you want to be able to have both apoache 1.3 and 2 installed >>concurrently, then that is the only valid reason to use an underscore - >>and the result should look like >> >>apache_1-1.3.22-3 >> > > Actually, the setup.exe code seems to equate '_' and '-' the same way. > Unfortunately, I don't think that 'upset' is quite as forgiving but > that's not a permanent problem, of course. > > So that means that the above package name would still be "apache" if > I am reading things correctly. > > cgf > > > >>Rob >> >>=== >>----- Original Message ----- >>From: "Stipe Tolj" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2002 5:13 AM >>Subject: Re: [ANN] apache_1.3.22-2 >> >> >> >>>Corinna Vinschen schrieb: >>> >>>>On Sat, Jan 12, 2002 at 06:53:43PM +0100, Stipe Tolj wrote: >>>> >>>>>No I don't think so.
