[Caml-list] Demande clarification nomenclature ocaml*

    Bonjour,

La communaute ne semble meme pas capable de se mettre d'accord sur la
nomenclature de ses bibliotheques. Verra-t-on ensuite une querelle
pour savoir qui detient le veritable "ocamlmakefile", "ocamlxml" ou
encore "ocamlyacc" ?

Il me semble raisonnable que l'utilisateur ait une vision claire de ce
qui est officiellement developpe par l'INRIA et de ce qui ne l'est
pas.

Raison pour laquelle il me semble que l'INRIA devrait etre plus
vigilant au sujet de la nomenclature, par exemple en affirmant sa
primaute sur le suffixe ocaml* en demandant aux autres bibliotheques
de migrer vers caml* telle CamlImages, ou encore en demandant aux
contributeurs d'eviter des noms equivoques tels ExtLib.

Je me trouve apres coup bien aimable de n'avoir pas nomme Baire plutot
OCamlStdLib : c'est bien plus vendeur.
