Bug#763557: sisu-* namespace Re: ITP: Bug#763752, Bug#763557, Bug#763704
Emmanuel, Debian Project,
I am Debian maintainer (and upstream) for package SiSU. It appears worth
pointing out that your packages sisu-* will be sharing namespace with
sisu, a command line document generator and search application written
in ruby. Though inconvenient, this should not a problem (unless the
Debian project determines otherwise:), provided there is no technical
conflict. sisu is invoked from the command line using "sisu" or a number
of related hyphenated variations depending on the intended output (e.g.
sisu-html, sisu-epub). The package sisu currently contains
sisu-postgresql, sisu-sqlite, sisu-pdf, and sisu-complete; there is also
sisu-markup-samples in nonfree. If there could be a technical conflict I
request a changing of name of your packages in some way to make the
distinction clear, otherwise this note is just to make sure you are
aware that a sisu already exists in the Debian archive. SiSU is not
particularly widely used, but has been developed since 1997 and shared
as open source through Debian since 2005. I did not think it necessary
to mention initially, but with the growing list of sisu-* package
additions, it seems a major enough "sharing"/"invasion" of namespace to
take note of and make sure all are aware of.
