[postgis-devel] Rebranding proposal for SVN HEAD

I guess its fine as long as it doesn't break everything.

I've always been kind of confused by the lwpostgis.sql name since I keep
on looking for a postgis.sql.

As a side note:
I was hoping we would have a separate sql file for the function comments
though and was hoping to modify the postgis docs so that I we can have a
separate xsl file to tease the comments out of the docs into meta data
inserts.  More on that later.

With that said - postgis_core.sql, postgis_comments.sql or something
would make me slightly happier, but then again its not that much better.

Thanks,
Regina

Subject: [postgis-devel] Rebranding proposal for SVN HEAD

Hi everyone,

Given the restructuring that PostGIS has had in SVN HEAD, how would 
people feel about rebranding a few things? In particular, I'd like to 
rename the lwgeom/ directory to postgis/ now that we have a separate 
liblwgeom/ directory, plus how about renaming some of the existing files

so they don't contain "lw" references? For example:

	lwpostgis.sql -> postgis.sql
	liblwpostgis.so -> (lib)postgis.so

Does that sound sensible?


ATB,

Mark.
