IMO what's important is for users to be informed of the provenance of any binaries that they use. Exactly how they are named does not really matter, if a binary package is named just "Hadoop-x.y.z" but clearly belongs to Fedora I suppose that's fine, even though "Fedora-Hadoop.x.y.z" would be better IMO, but not always practical probably. >> ....Kermit's binary package should be named like >> "kermit-httpd-2.4.16.tgz" to help prevent confusion. > > Well, this is not what's happening: http://pkgs.org/search/httpd ... As Bill says, httpd's name and long history which might explain a lot of this, but we can do better now. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
