<zong_sharo> hmm, does any gentoo's package manager accepts package name like foo-123-bar <zong_sharo> pms defines this as a valid name <zong_sharo> category/foo-123-bar-2.0017a_p-r5 <zong_sharo> like this <zong_sharo> one <reavertm> zong_sharo: you should take pms with some grain of salt <zong_sharo> some? <loki_val> zong_sharo: that looks valid. <zong_sharo> yeah, this is completely in pms spec <zong_sharo> but, does anyone really accepts this? <reavertm> well, try if you're curious <loki_val> portage does not accept this: <loki_val> Invalid ebuild name: /home/pa/poppler-overlay/app-text/foo-123-bar/foo-123-bar-2.0017a_p-r5.ebuild
Hrm, why doesn't Portage accept this? Which bit specifically does it hate?
Portage forbids names with version-like parts. pym/portage/versions.py: for x in myparts[:verPos]: if ververify(x): pkgcache[mypkg]=None return None #names can't have versiony looking parts
