I have been looking, and probably missed something crucial, but I fail to find a list of standardised package = classifications.
Bèr probably meant that there are no guidelines on how to use the package field. Module authors can invent arbitrary new names and use them. That way, you'll end up with 10 categories with 1-2 modules each.
Why not ask module owners to make the default be the category that they list it under at drupal.org. Then those generic categories could be the guideline for what to put in the 'package =' line. --Vernon
Naming-wise, the package should almost /always/ be the name of your distribution - CCK and Ecommerce are made up of a ton of different modules but are all colloquially referred to as "CCK" or "Ecommerce", and that's what their CVS name and module URL are. Thus, that is their package names as well.
That's true. But we need to document it somewhere. It won't work with a tacit agreement.
