Package Nomenclature

[fuelusumar]

The actual nomenclature for package name choosing is as it follows:

com.bitdubai.fermat_ccp_plugin.layer.basic_wallet.bitcoin_wallet.developer.bitdubai

In more detailed way we have:

• com: organization type
• bitdubai: organization name
• fermat_ccp_plugin: a mix of names made out of the system name, platform name and component type
• layer: just the word layer
• basic_wallet: the real name of the layer inside the platform
• bitcoin_wallet: the component's name
• developer: the word developer
• bitdubai: the word bitdubai

I propose the next nomenclature:

• com.bitdubai.fermat.ccp.basic_wallet.bitcoin_wallet or in a more generic way
• [organization_type].[organization_name].[system_name].[platform_or_superlayer].[layer].[component]

Don't think in how is it done and if it would be hard to change, think in what is the more logical and intuitive way to do it, we have to make this easy for new developers willing to contribute. I speak from my own experience, i started to develop new plug-in last week, and the way the packages are named today was totally unlogical to me

Agreed.

[fvasquezjatar]

I am agreed with this proposal but this will be a huge change. This change will affect the whole fermat system (plugins, add-ons, components, etc..).

@Luis-Fernando-Molina With this proposal should be attached the name conventions for internal packages, plugins, add-ons, etc.. because there are to many different way to call classes that are parts of the same functionality. So will be great define the Name conventions for the whole system instead of just nomenclature for each component.

It would be great, buy this is a starting point. To keep the discussion focused, we should agree with @fuelusumar or propose alternatives to that.

@fvasquezjatar do you have any spacific analisys about this to share? It might require it's own issue.

I'm agreed with the point, its a big change, and is now the better moment to do it. I think that it can vary depending on the result of the topic #2418 adding [developer].[version] Another thing, like all the other open source projects, the package structure must start with a org.fermat, and not with com.bitdubai.

[fuelusumar]

If what @lnacosta said is done:

the package structure must start with a org.fermat, and not with the com.bitdubai.

we should put the team that develop the component somewhere like:

[system_type].[system_name].[platform_or_superlayer].[layer].[team].[component]

So the example package would be:

org.fermat.ccp.basic_wallet.bitdubai.bitcoin_wallet for bitdubai's developed components and org.fermat.ccp.basic_wallet.contrib.bitcoin_wallet for community's developed components

Agreed.

Even if it is not the right time we still can discuss it and reach an agreement

we should put the team that develop the component somewhere like:

teams are quite volatile as you might have noticed. Members come and go and they change their leaders and names too. Dont think its a good idea.

[Luis-Fernando-Molina]

unless you are talking about organizations like bitdubai

[fuelusumar]

i said it like a way to make a difference between a component developed by bitdubai from one developed by the community of contibutors

[Luis-Fernando-Molina]

en el caso de la Open Source Community we could use OSC

@Luis-Fernando-Molina @fuelusumar what're we doing with this?

Cuando terminemos de apagar el fuego que nos dejo jorge con CBP ahi retomamos el tema para ver que se puede mejorar.
