That's one way to think about it, and that's valid. I've grown used to thinking about rpm names as hierarchies. In that case: remmina |--------plugins |--------NX |--------VNC |--------etc. also makes sense. Nagios is packaged this way, as an example. Some, like nagios, have a meta package, nagios-plugins. This makes shell-glob operations easy for the sysadmin. e.g.: yum remove nagios-plugins\* Anyway, 'yum list | grep plugin' will show both opinions in use. There's also some elegance to being able to use %{name}-foo in RPM, rather than having to think about the correct pluralization for each sub-package. Seems to me, that'll lead to fewer errors for the next maintainer. I'm not informed enough to have an opinion on how this applies to non-English speakers - all I know is that not all languages pluralize the same way. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
