We-ell, there's the issue of the version tags, which use dashes as separator. But if we disallow tags in the package-id, it shouldn't be a problem. foo-bar-0.1.2-bar-foo is harder to understand, though. :)
Grrr. Forgot about the tags. I suggest tags use an underscore separator rather than a dash.
I hear RedHat's RPM program has a nice bit of obfuscated C code to work out and compare package name/version strings. I propose translating this to Haskell. /runs for cover :-) Duncan
