Is there a common lisp package naming convention?
common-lisp, lisp
Solution
The convention I use is to use a unique word: salza, skippy, zs3, etc. I don't really try to have a direct relationship to the library functionality. I try to avoid generic words that others might use like "zlib" or "zip" or "png".
Edi Weitz uses Frank Zappa-related words to name many of his packages: Hunchentoot, Drakma, etc.
Some people use Java-style org.foo.bar reversed domain naming.
So, the direct answer is no, there isn't a common, agreed-upon convention that everyone uses.
Problem
I have created some of my own user packages and have run into a name clash. In Java, the naming convention is to use your domain name in the package name: e.g. import com.example.somepackage;. Are there any widely used package naming conventions for common lisp packages? Regards, Russell
