Maybe it's time for naming conventions ;-)

Looking at the repositories, I would suggest first that the version be
removed from the name (it's part of the version field, not the name
field, except for compatibility issues, but the tendency is then to
rename the old one, e.g. apache =3D> apache1 and/or apache2). Also I think
that version should follow a more traditional numbering schema, such as
4.0 for the lastest one, rather than 4 alone (as in fedora ;-)

I'd agree with Louis that the main program package should be named
systemdesigner (even if being an old Unix guy I prefer shorter name such
as sysdes). As long as it doesn't conflict with other existing packages
in distro, it's fine:


[root@eurolinux ~]# locate .rpm | wc -l
1350237
[root@eurolinux ~]# locate .deb | wc -l
301768
[root@eurolinux ~]# locate sysdes | grep rpm
[root@eurolinux ~]#

Now even if I like short names, maybe it would be interesting to avoid
any future ambiguity by prefixing with linuxcoe ?
So linuxcoe-sysdes-4.0.noarch.rpm ?

For other packages, as they concern distributions why not
linuxcoe-distrib-rhel-4.0.noarch.rpm,
linuxcoe-distrib-fedora-4.0.noarch.rpm, ...

I'm not sure the term overlay is obvious for everybody.

BTW, I'll need them very soon now ;-)

WDYT ?
Bruno.
