My question is related to namespace to use for such modules ? MDV.modules ? FOO.MDV.modules where FOO is an already existing namespace ?
If your modules are truly Mandriva-specific, then placing them in their own named hierarchy is ideal. But if there is even the slightest chance that they will be more widely useful, then it would be more appropriate to locate them in the hierarchy by their functionality, rather than their provenance. Please do not use cryptic abbreviations like MDV. You could use a reverse-domain-name scheme like in Java, e.g. Org.Mandriva.modules Com.Mandriva.modules or just plain Mandriva.modules If naming by functionality, then (depending on what your modules actually do), something like System.OS.Mandriva.modules
Also this question apply for more generic modules, eg which namespace should use an haskell RPM module ?
Perhaps System.OS.RPMtools
Is it possible to create a new main namespace ?
Yes, if you propose it on the libraries list and gain consensus.
I think a FAQ is needed about this.
