Hello,
At the moment the Xfce Panel Plugin packages in openSUSE follow the name of xfce4-panel-plugin-foo.
OTOH upstream and mainstream distributions all use xfce4-foo-plugin
This causes an issue of inconsistency with upstream and also search engines. ...> I do not know the historical reason of such difference with upstream but
Neither do I, it was already that way when I started maintaining xfce packages. What I like about the current system, in the alphabetically sorted package list, all plugins are in the same place. But that's something not really important.
would like to propose changing the package names following the upstream model instead. If there isn't any objection, I would like to start this renaming work with Xfce 4.14 which is to be released by August.
I do not object. Just make sure that all packages have # package was renamed in 2019 after Leap 15.1 Provides: xfce4-panel-plugin-foo = %{version} Obsoletes: xfce4-panel-plugin-foo < %{version} ...and keep it like that for the next 5 years or longer. (Or maybe check docs / ask on opensuse-packaging@) what's the correct way to rename packages and still ensure that updates are working well, I'm not really an expert on that).
