[PEPr] Comment on RFC::Package naming, file naming and directory structure RFC

Pierre-Alain Joye (http://pear.php.net/user/pajoye) has commented on the proposal for RFC::Package naming, file naming and directory structure RFC. Comment: I'm totally missing what's new here. We already have: http://pear.php.net/group/docs/20031114-pds.php (package directory structure, yours is wrong) http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.naming.php Maybe a merge and update of these documents is far enough. "Define a fixed repository of category prefixes per category." What does that mean? AFAIR, pearweb categories are helpers to browser the packages. They were not always in the package names but the installation folders tree is. We can start to force the package name to match the web category, but it's not that important imho (see the web as a browser, aliases can be possible at some point). This RFC adds far too strict rules. The general concept of "namespaces" works fine and should be enhance or define on a case by case basis. Or do you have some thoughts how to know all the future needs?
