pkg.1.txt:
57. Elide the parenthetical forward and reverse DN example. You can
augment the last sentence of the paragraph or explictly add an
example, if you feel we need to have reverse DN demonstrated.
349. Suggest:
With -P, set the specified publisher as the preferred publisher.
The set of package versions offered by the preferred publisher
will be checked first when determining which publisher
repositories should be used for the initial retrieval of package
content and metadata during package operations. For subsequent
updates, a package will always be obtained from the publisher it
was installed from.
(I found the exception sentence unclear, and tried to remove it.)
pkg.5.txt:
29. I would probably disagree that the publisher is a string; maybe
"a publisher's identifying name is...". I don't think we need
the DN examples here, either. But I believe we should have an
explicit sentence about being connected to the owner of the
domain in some fashion. That is, I shouldn't be publishing as
"whitehouse.gov".
The Java Language Specification has a nice sentence
You form a unique package name by first having (or belonging to
an organization that has) an Internet domain name, such as
sun.com.
Maybe
Your publisher name can be safely constructed from an Internet
domain name you (or your organization) own, manage, or
represent. Other constructions may lead to collisions and be
unsafe for general use.
Thanks
