 Should the 'mlrepo' suffix still be used with CR packages?This is not a real big issue, just something I'm curious about.
Now that the Mepislovers site no longer exists should the 'mlrepo' suffix still be used with CR packages? I assume that the 'ml' part of it stood for 'Mepislovers'. If the 'mlrepo' was discontinued what would it be replaced with? btw: what is the technical term for that part of a package name? {I'm sure it's something other than my term of 'suffix'} |

Re: Should the 'mlrepo' suffix still be used with CR package Good point, how about "mcrepo" (MEPIS Community repo) or maybe only "mc"

Re: Should the 'mlrepo' suffix still be used with CR package That's a good question. I think mcr would work nicely, or ~mcr if we want to follow debian a smidge more closely (debian-backports uses ~bpo). Perhaps adding something about the release as well like debian-backports does (they use ~bpo50 for lenny - release 5.0, ~bpo40 for etch, etc.). Keeping in mind that if a port for M8.5 is ~mcr85+1 then it would have to be ~mcr110+1 for M11 unless we renumber - which we could do, since the first CR wasn't until M7.
Something to ponder. for a day or two... |

Re: Should the 'mlrepo' suffix still be used with CR package ~mcr seems fairly easy to understand.

Re: Should the 'mlrepo' suffix still be used with CR package
I like the ~mcr. I was kind of thinking that you would keep using the 'mlrepo' suffix with the existing 7.0, 8.0 & 8.5 CR repos and have the change take effect with Mepis 11.0 CR packages. |

Re: Should the 'mlrepo' suffix still be used with CR package I also like the ~mcr and like the extra info idea like the ~mcr110+1 even better. Jerry

Re: Should the 'mlrepo' suffix still be used with CR package
Sounds like a good idea. I have to keep close track of packages that have the same source tarball in the 8.0 and 8.5 repository, and it's easy to mix them up when the only difference between them is a "mlrepo1" and "mlrepo2". It would also be nice if the new 11.0 release had an official name, much as Debian has Squeeze and Ubuntu has Maverick. I know Warren mentioned this; I would propose picking from a list of ancient Egyptian localities, such as Thebes, Karnak, and so on. There seems to be enough to create a list that could be in alphabetical order, too: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... e_Delta.29 Then a line in the changelog would read something like foo (0.2.3-0~mcr110+1) karnak; urgency=low |

Re: Should the 'mlrepo' suffix still be used with CR package Obviously Stevo has been taking lessons from Karnak!
 Great idea!  I think it's not really necessary to be alphabetical. After all, debian isn't. Besides I'd like a little more separation from ubuntu. _________________ "There is no "slippery slope" toward loss of liberties, only a long staircase where each step downward must first be tolerated by the American people and their leaders."
