definitely the minus version is easier to parse because avoids confusion
with the extension.

i don't see the problem here? can you explain?
true that modules can be mirrored around, for that there will be need
later on also for a gpg signing mechanism.

indeed this makes it easier for people to look thru file lists.

sure

i tried this at the beginning but it's not very practical with large
software collection in modules: for instance i update applications
inside the audio.dyne module and then changing the name will force me to
recompile ALL applications, because the prefix changes. i hope i
explained myself on this. so then unless you are doing a one-shot module
like openoffice-2.0 containing just that software, i discourage to
include the version in the name.

well probably in that case yes

we should.

i will do on dev.dynebolic.org pages, but first wait for more comments
on this in case there are.
