hurd-specific packages
Hello,
Among the things we'd like to do for the wheezy release, there are
packaging incubator/hurdextra things. Some packages have already been
uploaded on debian-ports, but we should push that to main. There is just
one pending question: how should we package the sources? The source
package names might easily conflict with existing packages. For
instance, libfuse-dev would conflict with the linux libfuse-dev, which
is why I called it libfuse-hurd on debian-ports. I've called the source
package libfuse, but probably it's be safer to call it libfuse-hurd, or
perhaps hurd-libfuse, probably it's be safer to call it libfuse-hurd, or
perhaps hurd-libfuse? The same happens with smbfs, which we might want
to call hurd-smbfs or smbfs-hurd, etc.
Essentially, what I'm wondering is whether to use hurd-foobar or
foobar-hurd. The former makes it easy to get the list of hurdish
packages, just having a look at h/ in the archive. The latter makes it
easy to find the hurdish variant of a debian package. I'd tend to prefer
the former, what people think about it?
