Because no one disagree strongly, I opened some bugreports for the naming convention :
Hostname : nfs_oscar -> oscar_nfs_home pbs_oscar -> oscar_pbs Applications : install_cluster -> oscar Everyone seems to agree with the general rule to prefix all oscar commands by "oscar" so that everyone will be able to easily know which oscar commands are available on his system. However, some people were concerned with the very long name and the lost of some "nice souding" abbreviations (opd, oda, opium, ...) Jeff wanted to keep opd opd and Jeremy oda oda. Because opd and oda are member of the core OSCAR infrastructure we could decide that they can keep their abbreviate name... However, I think that the core packages should show the example and implement the naming conventions ;-) Those name are only meaningfull for OSCAR developpers ! Users (I know some of them ;-) and even some developpers asked some questions about those abreviations. I even thought that oda was "OSCAR database abstraction" (instead of OSCAR database) !!! Question 1 is : should opd be renamed "oscar_package_downloader" ? Question 2 is : should "oda" renamed "oscar_database" ? Another solution was proposed by Jeff : > How about an alternate solution: just have a module for all the OSCAR > commands. They should all [eventually] get installed to /opt/oscar-X.Y > somewhere, anyway.

So things like "opd" and "oscar_foo" are in their path. This seems a bit complicated for me while I agree that those commands should be avalaible ,most of the time, only for the root user.
