Re: Can't upload a package named "oath" to Hackage

It seems like we're extrapolating quite a bit without actual input from the Hackage Admins/Trustees on that one. I'd rather have Gershom's opinion on that topic. Le 09/12/2021 à 02:15, Fumiaki Kinoshita a écrit :

If typo-squatting is a thing, they should be done against existing packages, not for non-existing ones... I don't think it should prevent uploading an innocent package anyway.

Btw there are way more confusing ones, like promise vs. promises, future vs. futures...

How are the trustees to know whether someone "deserves" to take a security sensitive name? And "typos" can often be intentional when two packages each deserve similar names. I think it's reasonable for trustees to step in if a name is actually abused, but I don't support squatting.

Yeah. Typo squatting is or case squatting in helping preventing weird security / bug issues sounds sane to me

Looking at other "reserved package names in the list, "all", "project", "test" are understandable but it's hard to think of any reason why oath should be reserved.

When I first saw this thread, I guessed that it was reserved to prevent typosquatting for “oauth” (OAuth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OAuth).
