Comment:
Why you closed this ticket without a word of explanation?
I assume that setting this as duplicate of #12288 means that you just want
to add documentation, and leave this as it is, but maybe this idea is
worth more time.
It would be much more flexible if under one project, applications were
registered with user-defined name, for example:
{{{
INSTALLED_APPS = {
'django_auth' : 'django.contrib.auth',
'my_auth' : 'my.package.path.auth',
}
}}}
So one could run test separately for both applications:
{{{
manage.py test django_auth
manage.py test my_auth
}}}
...and those applications would use different database tables:
{{{
django_auth_ModelName # for django_auth
my_auth_ModelName # for my_auth
}}}
So like today, Django would have application with names, but that names
wouldn't collide when we got multiple applications with the same package
name (like django.contrib.auth and my.package.path.auth). In this concept
author of a project defines application name instead of author of an
application.
