Description Pierre Fortin 2013-12-01 16:32:01 CET
Description of problem:
The naming convention is quite good and allows users to automatically eliminate from downloads many unneeded files such as foreign language files, games, etc.  There is however, a minor namespace collision between Galitian language and some OpenGL files.  It would be nice if the 3 OpenGL packages (others?) were renamed to better describe the contents and eliminate this namespace collision.  Thanks!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
These Galitian language filenames contain "-gl-":
./media/core/release/aspell-gl-*
./media/core/release/calligra-l10n-gl-*
./media/core/release/firefox-beta-gl-*
./media/core/release/firefox-gl-*
./media/core/release/gnome-getting-started-docs-gl-*
./media/core/release/hunspell-gl-*
./media/core/release/hyphen-gl-*
./media/core/release/kde-l10n-gl-*
./media/core/release/kde-l10n-handbooks-gl-*
./media/core/release/libreoffice-langpack-gl-*
./media/core/release/locales-gl-*
./media/core/release/thunderbird-gl-*

and so do these OpenGL filenames:
./media/core/release/lib64clanlib0.8-gl-*
./media/core/release/prboom-gl-*
./media/core/release/xscreensaver-gl-*
(These are the only ones that got downloaded when I unblocked *-gl-*)

while most other OpenGL filenames usually contain:

*-opengl-*
*-OpenGL-*
lib64qt5opengl-*
opengl-*

How reproducible:  always


Steps to Reproduce:  n/a
