Ping? I almost forgot about this thread due to the holidays.
Despite the new year: It is still a bug. And we need a solution. :D
I suggested a comma which does not interfere with anything AFAIK. Creating patch for OSC is a matter of minutes and I can push it anytime. The only thing we need is to agree on the solution.
I am concerned that using such an exotic seperator will just create problems in another library, script, or language. Limiting the use of characters to the most portable subset of POSIX filenames: A–Za–z0–9._- would be a pragmatic choice. On 20:19 Sun 21 Dec 2008, Brandon Philips wrote:

Of course we need to figure out how many people have dots in their usernames but that could be worked around somehow.
Usernames are not a problem in this case, but we have a lots of projects that contain dot (with a good reason) like openSUSE:11.0 or Java:jpackage-5.0
Right, but does the dot ever need to be interpreted in a special way?! Besides the strange "folders for http mirrors" thing: which I still don't understand.
Could someone please address why OBS must have a unique seperator? Surely removing this assumption should be possible with all of the XML metadata and .osc/{_project,_package} files about.
