 K900 | And it's explicitly not a name | 18:36:43 |
| K900 | And it hopefully looks temporary | 18:36:50 |
 hexa | there were arguments against a temporary name, like that moving things around breaks lots of assumptions about backports and out-of-tree usage | 18:37:29 |
 infinisil | Hmm I don't think it should be intended to be temporary. Yes we hope to migrate to something else at some point, but this might also never happen or we completely change the direction. And this is in the scale of perhaps years | 18:38:34 |

 Robert Hensing (roberth) | I don't think we've considered pkgs/by-name yet? | 19:14:03 |
| infinisil | Robert Hensing (roberth): I just thought of pkgs/by-prefix a couple minutes ago :o | 19:14:40 |
| infinisil | Should definitely consider, reminds me of /dev/disk/by-* | 19:15:09 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | yeah, I don't think we'll have many views into the same "structure" like dev has, but I don't think that's an objection | 19:16:08 |
| infinisil | I guess it's also focusing on the structure of it, not the contents, which I don't think is great | 19:16:22 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | that's kind of the point though, because we can't agree on what the contents should be | 19:16:52 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | and we've already acknowledged that we may want to use it for more than packages | 19:17:09 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | and pkgs/by-name does suggest "packages", so that's actually covered | 19:17:35 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | like unit it lends itself to a transposition like by-name/<shard+name>/package. It's really quite similar | 19:18:54 |
