From 87c0398d6dd0bd11ac166f9c4a79666393e7ccbe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ciaran McCreesh Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2011 16:51:06 +0100 Subject: Tighten repository name requirements By requiring repository names to also be valid package names, a package mangler may treat repositories as packages. This then allows, for example, a user to 'install' a repository, which would instruct the package manager to perform the relevant configuration (including installing any masters) and syncing. --- names.tex | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'names.tex') diff --git a/names.tex b/names.tex index 67054c1..c99ed0f 100644 --- a/names.tex +++ b/names.tex @@ -34,7 +34,7 @@ described in section~\ref{sec:use-iuse-handling}. \subsection{Repository Names} \label{sec:repository-names} A repository name may contain any of the characters [\t{A-Za-z0-9\_-}].
