Since I believe in concrete use cases, I'll just go with that. Currently in the tree we have sys-fs/ntfs3g. However the proper upstream name and name referenced in every single doc in the world is "ntfs-3g". I tried to rename the package however, Portage does not let me since it is invalid naming. marienz and genone informed me it's invalid with PMS as well. The version I was trying to add is ntfs-3g-1.516. Logically Portage and PMS should only consider any data after the LAST - as the version information. Now in the cpv scheme of things, it's not undeterministic because the following two entries would be the only valid entries: sys-fs/ntfs-3g =sys-fs/ntfs-3g-1.516 Either way, that's my beef. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
