Yes, but the Zend Framework is "the" Zend Framework. Zend being the company behind its development and behind the engine used in PHP it is somewhat explicit and obvious. The risk for a namespace collision in this case is minimal (if not zero), and prefixing it with libphp- just makes the name uselessly longer. Not to mention that it is a framework, not just a library. Btw, some stats: 8089 packages with 0 dashes 10243 packages with 1 dashes 6068 packages with 2 dashes 1547 packages with 3 dashes 230 packages with 4 dashes 48 packages with 5 dashes 14 packages with 6 dashes 1 packages with 7 dashes (sid/main/i386) Cheers, Raphael Geissert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
