Hmm ... as proposed earlier - should a unique domainname (like with java- classes, in reversed order) be used? Like "org.horde/Log" or "de.speedpartner.de/Log"? This way you could make the dirs really unique. Maybe we could allow certain "special" names, which should be named by pear-group: I would think of having "PEAR" a special name and "Horde" maybe also, since these are the largest two repositories important for us at the moment. Or would you say only pear is a special-name that doesn't need a full domain? Stefan
