Package naming syntax

tigeros-core-x: Main packages for stuff. Ex: tigeros-core-manager, tigeros-core-ui-tweaks

tigeros-course[-uni]-AAAA000: Course metapackage using dependencies to provide the software needed. Version should be SEMESTER.REVISION and there should be version locking for the major version by default (may be done in the TigerOS Manager). -uni may be added if/when TigerOS gains involvement from outside groups, whether that is initiated by them or us.

tigeros-repkg-x: Software we are repackaging. Many of these will be an installer script as some licenses prohibit us from redistributing the software directly and we would like to prioritize access to students over being 100% FOSS, while still maintaining within the boundaries of the law.

fedora-x -> tigeros-x: Core OS packages/similar
