* From: Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@scc.nl>
After re-reading the thread, I finally noticed where the
misunderstanding is coming from....
* Yes, and have paid special attention to the section about Package Names.
* The language is 'linux'. The name is 'base'. No compiled specifics and the
You are talking about this paragraph:
===
1. FreeBSD strives to support the native language of its users. The
language- part should be a two letter abbreviation of the
natural language defined by ISO-639 if the port is specific to a
certain language. Examples are ja for Japanese, ru for Russian,
vi for Vietnamese, zh for Chinese, ko for Korean and de for
German.
===
I have no idea how you could interpret this in a way that you can put
"linux-" here. ;)
In other words, names like "linux_devel" are completely valid under
our guidelines.
Of course, the consistency of having "linuxdoom", "linux-netscape4"
and "linux_devel" next to each other is another issue.
