-Issues
-------
-
-The following issues are known to exist with the current structure of
-a collection distribution:
-
-- In theory, the namespaces for different types of resources are
- separate, so collections and packages with the same name should be
- able to coexist. This directory structure doesn't distinguish
- between them, so that remains theory. The only case we currently
- need to deal with like this is ZODB: there is a Python package named
- ``ZODB``, and there's a collection that contains that and a handful
- of other packages that are normally distributed as part of a
- separate ZODB distribution (``ZEO``, ``zLOG``, ``ZConfig``, and a
- few others). Given this limitation, the collection would need to
- have a different name (``ZODB3`` comes to mind).
-
- This isn't enough of a problem to worry about at this point; we just
- need to keep this in mind when naming components.

- information" for collections, but this is largely a software issue,
- not a design problem. The information file is called `SETUP.cfg`,
- and what's accepted is a subset of what's allowed for a Python
- package.
