Hi Anthony, I would prefer apache-FOO.

In a recent thread on the dev@geode list [1] the subject of naming for package manager distributions came up, specifically around a Homebrew formula [2] for Apache Geode. Does the ASF provide a recommendation on the preferred format when a project name is used in a technical context? That is, should we prefer: $ brew install apache-FOO $ apt-get install apache-FOO $ yum install apache-FOO OR $ brew install FOO $ apt-get install FOO $ yum install FOO I reviewed the branding requirements [3] and found a really great thread [4] on a related subject but not see a clear recommendation. My observations [5]: 1) In the case of Homebrew, there are 57 Apache formula with only 6 using the apache-FOO naming format (there are two others that are aliased to support both forms). 2) Fedora / RHEL / ContOS use apache-FOO. 3) Ubuntu / Debian use FOO. Should this be left to the discretion of the package distributions and/or package maintainers? Any pointers to previous discussions would be greatly appreciated.
