I agree that we should try to avoid as many problems we can by choosing a neutral namespace separator for the project names. Alternatives to ":" could be the already mentioned "_" or "+" or possibly "." or "-". Looking at the current project names only "+" wouldn't need any changes to existing project names.
So what do you like better (using four existing projects as examples and making character replacements where required):
we should define some rules that ban the seperator from package names aswell. and that will be hard. in that regard ":" was good. as projects barely use it in their names, unlike "_", "-" or "+". (the plus sign is forbidden by the buildserivce atm anyway.)
Speaking about it, i tried uploading gtk+-2.8.18.tar.gz2 and the filename always get cropped to just gtk, those namespace thingy or whatever are really gonna be annoying if you use common char... what about ~
i wonder if we just should force
ns/project/package
and stuff all projects without an explicit namespace into "unsorted" or something like that. then we wouldnt need some special namespace marker
anyway i think if rsync fells over the 2nd ":" in the url it is definitely a sign for a broken url parser in rsync.
