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.) 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. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice-help@opensuse.org
