Moving the Apache Foundation commons packages to an "apache-commons-*" namespace makes sense, because there are other commons packages unrelated to Apache project, such as Mary's "aduna-commons-*" packages, but I don't see the need to rename other standalone Apache Foundation projects if there's no naming conflict. -- Mat Booth -- java-devel mailing list java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/java-devel
