[Pkg-javascript-devel] Naming node packages with binaries

[Leo Iannacone]

Hi all,

AFAIK.. when a binary is present in a package, the package should have
the be named as the binary.

But.. this is not so clear for node modules.

For instance, for mocha, according with javascript policy, I should
ship a package called `node-mocha' rather than one simply called
`mocha'.

This seems to be in contrast with perl policy (I think with python too).

Should we follow this cli_based_name policy and rename those packages
having binaries ?

David Prevot suggests in chan:
<taffit> maybe a "Provides: node-$stuff" could help in the dependency
chain if needed

What do you think about ?

Ciao!

Leo
