Repository naming
To avoid name clashes and silly names we're adding a new set of rules for naming repositories. The rules affect profiles/repo_name and not the actual sync url which can differ if neccessary. I'd recommend using the same name however.
The new rules for repo_name is as follows:
- Official topic repositories uses the topic as name.
- Personal repositories uses use the owners (nick)name
- Personal topic repositories use owners (nick)name-topic
So the official KDE repository is named 'kde' and you can find all it's packages using for example 'paludis --list-packages --repository kde'. Ingmars personal repository is named 'ingmar' and if he had a personal topic repository for office type packages it would be named 'ingmar-office'.
I hope the new rules will make the status of repositories easier to understand.
