I am aware, the one I posted initially was about package names. I was just |
| 10 |
showing the PMS in various sections says the same thing as the devmanual in |
| 11 |
condensed form. |

It seems others already do this, like exherbo pretty sure Funtoo is the same. |

They also use the -bin naming scheme for binaries. Not aware of other distros |
| 18 |
using PMS. For self built, may go with -ebin vs -gbin for universal use. |

I just wanted to standardize use of such. I see -bin's in places but I have |
| 21 |
never seen any document say it should be done, it is required, etc. Some |
| 22 |
binary packages do not have that. Should they? Nothing says they are required |
| 23 |
to, thus the suggested requirement. |

No worries either way, just wanted to standardize things. |
