Having an underscore in the name is a bad idea. The globus RPM packages are named "globus-common" etc, and and not "globus_common" etc which are the internal GPT package names, for good reasons. The underscore is part of the set of characters allowed in package names in the Fedora Guidelines, however its use is discouraged since the guidelines also say: "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." Also, having an underscore in the name makes it impossible to comply with the guideline that says "If this package has been packaged by other distributions/packagers in the past, then you should try to match their name for consistency", since other distributions like Debian don't allow underscores at all in the package names. Naming it "gsi-openssh" would be an acceptable name though - if that is preferred. Looking at the upstream 5.1.1 alpha release it looks like upstream did the right thing for their debian packages and called them gsi-openssh. Why they screwed up with the RPMs I don't know. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
