Okay, I did that, and I have received responses from Infra that are
quite helpful:
(1) Infra requires repos to be named ${project}-${reponame} because of
technical reasons related to LDAP. (This was not previously documented,
but a note has been added to [1] in response to my question.)
(2) If we don't request otherwise, Infra will by default simply remove
"incubator-" from our repo names, so we would get:
* https://github.com/apache/nuttx
* https://github.com/apache/nuttx-apps
(3) When renaming repos, Infra is careful to preserve our existing
stars and forks. (They can, upon request, archive the repos and create
new ones, which would lose the existing stars and forks, but we
definitely don't want that!!!!!)
Additional note: I looked through the list of Apache repos at [2] (all
81 pages of them!!) and none had underscores or CamelCase.
So, bottom line, it looks like the name 'nuttx-apps' is pretty much set
in stone (unless we want to change 'apps' to something else), and
regarding the main repo, it could be one of the following (I'm just
including the items that were suggested earlier):
* nuttx
* nuttx-core
* nuttx-rtos
* nuttx-kernel
* nuttx-${something}
So that narrows down what we need to decide, which should make our
lives easier. :-)
