https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1244514 --- Comment #8 from Michael Schwendt (Fedora Packager Sponsors Group) <bugs.micheal@xxxxxxx> --- > and no real answer That's not the point of mailing packaging@ list. If nobody has strong feelings about it, that is much better input than not having asked at all. The packaging@ list is still advertised on the FPC's page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging_Committee#Discussions Solving name conflicts can be very hard, especially if upstream is not willing to help in any way: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Conflicts#Approaching_Upstream While it may be trivial to choose a different _package name_, a future package may include files that conflict. Then the real fun will start. Just imagine conflicting executables, Python module paths or shared libs. > snappy + python-snappy "First come, first served" is quite common when naming packages. I don't see any benefit in renaming "python-snappy" to something like "python-python-snappy" without knowing the details how that would avoid any conflict with stuff from the "SnapPy" project. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
