[aur-general] Package Guidelines: Naming of Apache mods
Hi all, My Google-fu has turned up nothing on this this. Is there a preferred standard for naming packages of Apache mods? I see everything in [extra] is just "mod_name" but some AUR packages are "apache-mod_name" Personally I prefer the "apache-mod_name" form, but I take the format of [extra] to be the official word? It doesn't seem to have been discussed before (as best I can find in my searching) so thought I would raise it. I have packages in AUR using both formats and I want to bring them in line with "the right way", whichever that is ;) Cheers, ~p

Hi Phillip, I'm not aware of any official recommendation. I prefer "apache-mod_name" because it's consistent with other recommended module naming schemes. In the absence of a better argument I recommend that you go with that. I wouldn't place too much weight on the naming scheme in [extra]. There are many examples of packages in the official repos that clearly break conventions. Regards, Xyne

Big +1, it's consistent and clear what the package is, and is likely to turn up in common searches.

Would this be a case for adding apache modules in Arch Package Standards' Guideline ? [1] [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards#Additional_Gui... -- Rafael

Thanks for the input guys; as I mentioned, that's my preference too personally, but the packages in [extra] made me think twice. I'll move my packages to have tha apache- prefix :)
