Naming Scheme

[Christopher Stone]

I've seen a couple php-pear packages come through the review pipes
recently with underscores in their names like
php-pear-HTML_Javascript[1] and php-pear-Auth_HTTP[2]. Shouldn't these
have dashes instead of underscores in their names? I thought the
naming guidelines suggested not using underscores? Have the rules
changed?

Chris

Yes, I think you're right.
> From http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines

"When naming packages for Fedora, the maintainer must use the dash '-'
as the delimiter for name parts. The maintainer must NOT use an
underscore '_', a plus '+', or a period '.' as a delimiter. "

But :

"packages where the upstream name naturally contains an underscore are
excluded from this."

Guidelines seems not clear enough.

I've add a explicit comment in pending proposal change to Guidelines
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/PHP

Definitively "pear make-rpm-spec" should be the reference ;)

Don't know how we should handle this 2 packages...
Open a bug ?
