If you want me to review a patch or a new extension for ArcLib, post them here.

You can also simply email at 'clayasaurus' at 'gmail' dot 'com'

I check my email more often, but will eventually find the forums.

This is simply a proposed change for the structure of extensions for arclib: (didn't know whether to put this here or in the Feature Request list)

Would it be too much of a hassle to structure the extensions so that they fall under "arc.$extension" or "arc.ext.$extension" just as derelict handles it? And as for the output library, either make it "arc-$extension" or "arc.$extension"?
If there' s a strong opposition against placing the includes under "arc", then maybe "arcext" or something along those lines.

It kind of sucks that the only way to do this is repeat the directory structure in each extension, but I guess that's what it takes...

I'm pretty sure putting it under arc.extname.* will cause problems.

I can, however, put it under arcExtname , or arcextname .

I'm leaning towards all lowercase.

Thanks for the update!

Though, Derelict seems to be able to handle splits between OpenGL, SDL, OpenAL, etc. quite well using the convention "derelict.$extension_or_whatever_you_call_it" with no problems.

The only pain (which isn't too bad) in this case would be to make sure that for each extension, whereas the source was previously contained in $extension/ and then arc_$extension/, it would be contained in arc/$extension/.
IMHO, "arc.$extension" is more aesthetic than "arc_$extension", and plus requires a smaller overall domain (just "arc").

DSSS handles seamlessly, as seen with Derelict.

I guess I should have been more upfront with using this convention than just mention the other ways and not giving and good backing as to why to use this one.

[And as for the lowercase extensions, I think Walter stated somewhere that module names should always be lowercase for cross platform-ability, namely where case sensitive file systems come into play]

Once again, thanks!
