Good to have this clarified. However java packages don't appear to
follow this convention. eg:
antlr3-java-1:3.5.2-2.fc21.noarch
plplot-java-0:5.10.0-11.fc21.i686
R-java-0:3.1.2-1.fc21.x86_64
tzdata-java-2014j-1.fc21.noarch
Does this mean we need to rename all Java subpackages?
All language binding sub-packages are named this way, no?
(subversion-perl, plplot-ada, xen-ocaml, etc)
But doesn't this guideline refer to naming the base package, not
sub-packages? Does it need clarifying further?
The package == SRPM in this context. It does not apply for subpackages.
Use of -perl, -ruby and -java suffixes for specific language bindings is
well established practice.
But this might be just my opinion :)
