Hi,
I remember seeing a discussion somewhat recently; was it
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/11/msg00433.html or even more recent ?
I must say that I am not particularly convinced, as I have seen R packages
moving from Omegahat to CRAN, or from CRAN to Bioconductor, and renaming source
packages is quite inconvenient.
If there is a need to implement simple namespaces for our source packages,
perhaps just "r-" would be enough ? But if we adopt a naming scheme, it would
be great to record it somewhere.
Unless I am the only one to not use "r-cran-" as a prefix, or unless we reach a
conclusion, I would prefer keeping "vegan" as a source package name.
Have a nice day,
