Yeah. "Twisted Core" is just used to disambiguate it from the other subprojects of Twisted. AIUI, "Twisted" is officially the networking framework. The tarball that contains everything will just be a convenience, and it will be called something like TwistedSumo.tar.bz2. I encourage packagers to name the twisted core package "twisted" and twisted subproject packages "twisted-foo". A "sumo" package is unnecessary on all non-barbaric packaging systems; I only think it's appropriate in tarball and win32 form.
I'm not sure that's right. I think it may be useful (and probably expected by users) on debian, say, to have a "twisted" package which installs every little bit of code associated with twisted, and a twisted-core package which is the core bits. The "twisted" package wouldn't actually contain any data, but simply depend on all the other packages. Such a package may actually even be *necessary*, in order to properly migrate dependancies forward (note that I'm not a debian packaging expert so I'm just guessing there). James
