+<PRE>Michael Scherer a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Le mercredi 23 f&#233;vrier 2011 &#224; 19:28 +0000, Andr&#233; Machado a &#233;crit :
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> But, before this is done, it's necessary that we achieve another goal:
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> II. Make agreement with main RPM distros to standardization:
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> a. Standardize naming and versioning of packages
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Nowadays, it's common that, in one distro, a package be called
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> 'samba' and, in another, 'smb'. Thus, if we try install a
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> package made for the first one in the second, we can break
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> dependence tree. Standardizing the naming and the versioning
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> would solve this issue. Comnpatibility with current distro
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> versions could be achieved by dummy packages.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> What do you mean by &quot;standardize versioning&quot; ?
+</I>
+Maybe he is thinking of related packages that are regrouped differently
+in various distros, and thus named somewhat differently. Most distros
+seem to already follow upstream naming and versioning.
+
+&gt;&gt;<i> b. Standardize file locations
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Even if you can install a package made for a distro to another
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> without breaking the dependency tree, can occur in the
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> application does not find the libraries or configuration files
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> that need, being necessary to create symbolic links to them.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Standardize the location of these files would solve the problem.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Comnpatibility with current and old distro versions could be
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> achieved by symlinks created automatically during install.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> File location are already standardized by FHS.
+</I>
+A lot of smaller third-party packages (not associated with a distro)
+have rather creative interpretations of FHS. Again, it doesn't seem to
+be a problem with major packages or distro-based packages.
+
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> And can you explain what you mean by &quot;compatibility with current distro
+</I>&gt;<i> could be achieved by symlinks&quot; ?
+</I>
+Maybe he means adding symbolic links in spec files from upstream install
+locations to standard FHS locations ?
