I'm not sure it's very important (and possible) to use the project name without alteration in our package name. As you said, the most important is to be able to find it (by a search) with a minimum common sense.
Developer which use pyqt, will search something like: $ pacman -Sqs pyqt4 eric eric4 and doesn't found it. Because they may use the real name of the python library (import PyQt4). ... SNIP ...
Good one, we must provide for that. Nevertheless, what I meant was _not_ to have: python-qt python2-qt python-gtk python2-gtk But to have: pyqt python2-pyqt pygtk python2-pygtk As we have now. Prepending 'python' everywhere is fine, as long as the 'pyX' name remains. Now the ideal scenario would be: John: Fetch me 'pyalpm' Pacman: Do you want python(3)-pyalpm or python2-pyalpm? Now that I look at it that way prepending 'python' would be better. -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1
