Thread: RPM package naming

RPM package naming

From

Dear all,

I renamed RPM packages :
pgadmin3-version.rpm
pgadmin3-i18n-French-version.rpm
pgadmin3-i18n-German-version.rpm
pgadmin3-i18n-Japanese-version.rpm
etc...

The main reason of this choice is that we may like to monitor downloads and
split them country by country. Who really know where PostgreSQL is used.
After 1000 dowloads by country, we will be able to provide very accurate
statistics with a good error margin.

Also, seperate packages give us the possibility to integrate the documentation
easily. It wron't be difficult to maintain due to the nature of RPM. The main
drawback is that some users may forget to download the language file...

Therefore, we may also choose to provide one single pgAdmin3 RPM package
including all .mo files, like we did before. And provide additionnal packages
for the localised documentation when it exists.

What do you vote for?
Cheers, Jean-Michel
