Package name reccomendation for source-build-reference-packages #1456

Description

I have been looking into creating a Linux distro package for source-build-reference-packages. Is there a name suggestion that the source-build folks (as the upstream for Linux distros) would recommend/suggest?

For context, this is the naming guideline for Fedora. It suggests asking upstream and/or coming up with a common consensus on the general package name.

We discussed this on IRC #fedora-dotnet and a few comments popped up:

  • source-build isn't a great prefix, it's unclear to other Fedora devs what that means
  • The name should indicate that it is a build artifact only. It's not meant for release. But we can't really make things completely internal in Fedora. All packages are available to users.
  • It's used for all builds, not just bootstrap ones

And some suggestions for the package name:

  • dotnet-bootstrap-reference-packages
  • dotnet-build-common
  • dotnet-build-packages
  • dotnet-build-reference-packages
  • dotnet-reference-packages
  • dotnet-source-build-reference-packages
  • source-build-reference-packages
