I'd rather say that generally binary packages split words at '-', so if
you've a choice among these two the latter is preferable.

Ok so in the end browser-plugin-* should be preferred? That's fine,
parole is not yet out of NEW so I can still make the change.

  Description : magnetic resonance image conversion, viewing and analysis

 GUI-based visualization and analysis tool for (functional) magnetic reasonance
 imaging. MRIcron can be used to create 2D or 3D renderings of statistical
 overlay maps on brain anatomy images. Moreover, it aids drawing anatomical
 regions-of-interest (ROI), or lesion mapping, as well as basic analysis
 of functional timeseries (e.g. creating plots of peristimulus signal-change).
 .
 This package also provides 'dcm2nii' that supports converting DICOM and PAR/REC

HTML::Template::Dumper helps you to test HTML::Template-based programs by

data can be outputed by Data::Dumper (default) or YAML.

Note that the underlying HTML::Template methods are still called, so options
like strict and die_on_bad_params will still throw errors.

On Linux bindv6only is configurable by administrator, applications
expecting specific setting are broken anyway (on Linux), no matter what
RFC says and what default on Debian is. And ability to change the
default is definitely feature, not a bug.

If some program needs specific value of bindv6only, it should request it
explicitly with one simple setsockopt(). And according to
http://bugs.debian.org/560238, only one package in Debian (which is not
in testing) didn't manage that. There are really no reasons to revert.

Hm, browserplugin-* would be a new option. Then we would have

 1. browser-plugin-*
 2. browserplugin-*
 3. *-browserplugin
 4. *-browser-plugin

I think all of these would work (with a slight preference to 1. or 2.).

Opinions?

What do you mean?

The apparent consensus is being ignored -- the default value is still
the one that people don't want.

I am aware of that.  It is the default value that we are speaking about.

This is of course nonsense.  Choosing the default value that is
incompatible with all other Unix systems (with the exception of OpenBSD)
and then complaining about applications being broken doesn't strike me
as a particularly productive attitude.

560238 is blocked only by 579033, end of bug report mentions also wine,
which I've missed. Reports against other packages are already closed. Am
I missing something else?

My point was, that applications claiming compatibility with Linux cannot
assume particular value of bindv6only regardless of RFC or any value
Debian chooses. I've reported bugs about incompatibility with
bindv6only=1 before the whole discussion popped up.

We are not incompatible with other Unices, only with few buggy
applications.

You have a missconception of "broken".
POSIX has a default value, the developers will read the POSIX documentation 
and tell you to screw you if you do a bugreport saying that if you voluntarily 
make your system non-compliant then their software doesn't work.

That application (which i maintain btw) claims compatibility with posix, not 
with linux.

Being posix compliant is not a bug.
The only reason i applied the patch is because i didn't want the package to be 
broken. I still believe the patch didn't fix any bug.

Default does not mean "only permittable". If POSIX allows it to be set to
either value, then no matter what the _default_ is, not coping with either is a
bug.

I don't believe that very many people are suggesting that not working with
bindv6only=1 is not a bug which should be filed and fix when it occurs in the
archive, nor that it should not be configurable to whatever setting we do not
choose as the default. I agree - programs which don't work with the current
setting are broken and should be fixed - but that does not mean we should go
out of our way to exhibit such brokenness to our users. This seems like too much
being contrary because it's technically allowed and declaiming the results not
to be our problem, even though it breaks a lot of systems.

I think we should change the default back _and_ work towards fixing all the
applications, without making them instantly RC buggy in the mean time. It 
smacks of 'uncoordinated transition' to me.

Please don't do polls on a mailing list :-)

Arguments have been given for using '-' in the name (while I haven't
seen any argument for _not_ using dashes). I presume the general feeling
about whether it should be at the beginning or at the end of packages is
"we don't particularly care", as long as it is consistent.

I personally don't think a poll is needed, but if you feel it is please
set up one somewhere and post just a participation link.

Thanks for attempting to standardize this!
Cheers.

Default: a selection automatically used by a computer program in the absence 
of a choice made by the user.

Source: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/default

Can you post your definition of the word "default" and your source? Because if 
we don't speak the same language we aren't going to understand each other.

There's no conflict here. The definition quoted says nothing about
default meaning "only permittable", exactly as Matthew claims above.

If the software doesn't work properly when either of the permissible
values is set when it is possible for the software to handle either
value correctly, the software is buggy. It may not be a bug that you
rush to fix, but it certainly is one.

If the upstream maintainer doesn't want to apply patches necessary to
work properly with either value set, that's their purview, but it
doesn't make the software non-buggy in Debian.

Set by whom? If the program itself doesn't change the setting, it will not 
expect it to be another one.
There is a conflict, just pretending there isn't, doesn't make it go away.

I think *-bwoser[-]plugin is a bad choice for 2 reasons (which you can
consider one reason):

A) apt-get install browser

This will complete nicely to give me a list of plugins with options 1
and 2 and all the packages it completes have a common use case, to make
my browser better. No such thing with options 3 and 4.

B) Sorting in frontends (aptitude, ...)

Again say you are looking for usefull plugins to add to your
browser. With options 1 and 2 you get all the plugins in one blog and
can easily scroll through them. With options 3 and 4 they will be
scattered all over the place.


I think the seperate groups formed by a common prefix in options 3 and 4
would be much smaller and less usefull to users than having all browser
plugins in one block.

It doesn't matter who sets it. If the program doesn't work properly
with either setting, and it's possible for it to work properly with
either setting by patching the code, it's a bug that should be fixed.

If the program wants a specific behavior, it should call setsockopt
appropriately. [But I'm unfortunatly unable to parse your full meaning
particularly well.]

I think, 3 and 4 are the better choices than 1 or 2. IMO, the best choice 
might be 4. Let me just explain why:

If people are looikng for something, they first look, what application it is in 
for. Browser plugins might be available for iceweasel, konqueror, opera 
whatever. So, the first choice is "iceweasel-", then what is it? Yes, it is for 
the "-browser", and at last, they see, yes, a "-plugin".

I also imagine, that in the future, there might be iceweasel-"sound"-plugins, 
"video"-plugins, "flash"-plugins or whatever. I also imagine, there might be 
also not only plugins, but "tools", or maybe "modules".

IMO we should decide for a structure or syntax, that is easy to understand and 
modular for future changes

Cheers

Hans

This discussion is about packages which provide an NPAPI-compatible
plugin.  This means that the plugin works for any browser which supports
the standard NPAPI plugin interface.  Therefore, there is no reason to
have a specific browser name in the package name and should instead use
a common naming convention.

It matters because in my view, the app expects it to be 0 unless the

It's a system wide default which can be changed by the administrator
or by Debian. If the code fails when that default is changed, the code
is buggy.

There's no reason for the code to rely on a particular setting of the
default when it can easily enforce the particular value that it only
works with.

By that reasoning you are advocating:

Ok, I added it to the poll, but i doubt that it will win against

If POSIX-compliant apps may only work with one setting then the standard would
say "only this setting is compliant with POSIX". Since it does not, we must
assume that a sysadmin choosing either value results in a POSIX-compliant
system. If an application fails to work on such a system it must ipso facto not
be POSIX-compliant and hence buggy.

POSIX and SUS define the behaviour an OS must provide to applications,
not to the administrator.  In these contexts. 'default value' normally
means the value that will be used unless the application overrides it.
Linux provides many options to deviate from POSIX-conformance, and there
are sometimes good reasons to use them (for example the relatime mount
option), but we should be wary of doing so.

Dear Benjamin,

I would like to recommend http://selectricity.org/ instead. In contrary to
Doodle, Selectricity is free software.
