[wiki] Article Name Collisions for Packages and Binaries

[jgaz]

I recently wrote the gzip article for the wiki. It's just a stub, but it's a start and others have already begun adding contributions to it. It's always a nice feeling to see others build on my work. While doing some research for another article, it occurred to me that the documentation link on app-arch/gzip just searches for gzip and loads the first exact match it finds. So, I need to write an article that is both about the package itself — which has something like 10 or 12 binaries in it — and the gzip command proper.

Are there rules for this kind of situation?

The way I see it, I should write a document about the package itself, document the use flags, and have a table of all of the binaries it contains. Then have links to articles for each binary in the package. Where the article name conflicts, have a separate article for "gzip_(command)" or something like that. Thoughts?

Thanks for the feedback.

I was just being through. I should probably add a note to the effect of, "while you can umerge this package doing so is a bad idea as it's a core part of the system."

Also Installation. Isn't it part of Stage 3?
