I am not happy with this. The name of the upstream project is
"com.hypirion.io" and this is what we should use. If you really don't like the
"com" in there we could name the source package hypirion-io-clojure which is
in line with our naming conventions. But then I don't really have a problem
with com-hypirion-io-clojure as the name for the source package.

The *jar* should still be io.jar as com/hypirion/io is the name with
namespace. Please discuss this with the java team though as I deem it less
then optimal (it's such a generic name without the namespace) and it would be
good to reach a project wide conclusion. I wouldn't be too surprised if this
had been discussed before, but I couldn't find anything with a (very) quick
query.

Yes, we should simply use whatever name is used by upstream, but see above and
discuss this naming strategy with the java team as the stripping of namespaces
will eventually cause problems here. I also don't really like the
FIFO approach to naming :)

To make it clear:

UPSTREAMNAME:                   whatever is used by upstream with s/./-/
                                and other suitable transformations.

                                com-hypirion-io
                                stencil
                                ...

Name of the source package:     Upstream name suffixed with -clojure
SOURCE
                                com-hypirion-io-clojure
                                stencil-clojure
                                ...

Name of a library binary package:   SOURCE name prefixed with "lib"

                                    libcom-hypirion-io-clojure
                                    libstencil-clojure


For applications we probably want other naming rules (e.g. "leiningen" as
source and binary package name) as they are, in contrast to libraries, not
*really* associated with the language but somewhat independent. But this is
something we could discuss once we package actual applications written in
Clojure.

I really don't want to have more applications that are horribly named like
some shipped by pkg-perl (the entire libapp-*-perl set).
