There are a couple of Squirrelmail plugins I'd like to package. I've
worked out things from the packaging side and been successfully using
them for a while, but I'm not sure about the naming. Let's take for
example the change_pass plugin. Here are some viable options for naming:
1. squirrelmail-plugin-change_pass
2. squirrelmail-plugin-change-pass
3. squirrelmail-change_pass
4. squirrelmail-change-pass
Option 1 from the above is what I've used to date, with the following
reasoning:
a) squirrelmail-XXX as opposed to squirrelmail-plugin-XXX makes it sound
like XXX is a subpackage of squirrelmail as opposed to some random third
party plugin that is completely separate. The use of "*-plugins-*" is
not without precedent; see libopensync for example.
b) Although underscores are not normally allowed in names, use of
"change_pass" as opposed to "change-pass" makes sense because the
PackageNamingGuidelines say "...packages where the upstream name
naturally contains an underscore are excluded from this". In this case,
underscores are conventionally used by Squirrelmail plugins and this is
no exception - see upstream at
http://www.squirrelmail.org/plugin_download.php?id=21&rev=1072 .
Comments welcome.
Thanks,
Tim
