Hi juga. Namespaces are useful if there's multiple packages. A namespace of one seems odd. In most places Stem's package is called 'stem' but in Debian and Fedora it's called python-stem because that's how those platforms like to namespace it.
Are you proposing that we call everything tor related 'tor-[name]'? Would you mind explaining further why we're adding this prefix?
It seems this is coming, at least in part, from this comment:
Well, tor-* was a proposal to disambiguate a short name. I don't particularly care what the prefix would be.

So, no, not all packages need the tor- prefix, but because "sbws" is a simple, short name they're future-proofing against a collision.

Hi,
we're going to package sbws [0] for Debian. We would like to provide the package in deb.torproject.org and probably also in the official Debian archive. teor, irl [1] and others [2] proposed to used the "tor-" namespace for the sbws package. Ulrike pointed out [2] that software using "tor-" in their name needs to be acknowledged by the Tor Project [3]. So, would it be fine to call the sbws Debian package something like "tor-sbws"?.
Thanks, juga.
