This issue was brought many times and not only in context of jabberd. Apache HTTPd for example. My standpoint is, that major rewrite of the software does not need renaming the project. Major version bump is enough. jabberd 1.x is not the same software as jabberd 2.x, like apache 1.x is not the same software as apache 2.x, like Die Hard 1 is not the same movie as Die Hard 2. The problems you mention are local deployment issues. There is a problem with many current Linux and Unix distributions, that they do not handle many different versions of same software at the same time. But this is a distribution problem (deployment issue). There are distributions, that cope with this well. The site name and list name are legacy of the migration. It was linked in many places, so I think it is too late to change it. > It just seems like it would be helpful for there to be a greater > distinction between jabberd14 and jabberd2. Next release of jabberd14 will be called xmppd, so there should be no more confusion. -- /\_./o__ Tomasz Sterna (/^/(_^^' Xiaoka.com ._.(_.)_ XMPP: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Jabberd2 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xiaoka.com/listinfo.cgi/jabberd2-xiaoka.com
