SUNWsound-exchange              audio/sound-exchange

 isn't "sox" the more commonly used name?  http://sox.sourceforge.net/

Agreed.

SUNWfbc  driver/graphics/fbc    Frame Buffer Configuration Utility (SPARC)

 I'd call that "fbconfig" (the command name) - fbc is just the abbreviation
 to fit the original 9-char pkg name limit.

I suggested system/command/fbconfig since it's not a driver.

SUNWerid        driver/network/sun/erid   Sun RIO 10/100 Mb Ethernet Drivers
SUNWged         driver/network/sun/ged    Sun Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (SPARC)
SUNWqfed        driver/network/sun/qfed   Sun Quad FastEtherent Adapter (SPARC)

 I'd drop the trailing "d" from the old package names so that they match
 the drivers they deliver - "eri", "ge", "qfe"

SUNWhmd        driver/network/sun/hmd   SunSwift Adapter Drivers
SUNWhmdu       driver/network/sun/hmdu  SunSwift Adapter Headers (SPARC)

 "hme" to match the driver name would be a better fit for the first.
 Shouldn't the second be merged into the first as part of the root/usr
 package merging?

Agreed.

SUNWxscreensaver      x11/screensaver                           XScreenSaver

 xscreensaver is the upstream package name & the command name, so I'd leave
 the 'x' in x11/xscreensaver.   (Same for all the x11/screensaver/* packages.)

Agreed.

  Please review the lists
  in 6186 for package names and add your comments to that bug, or share
  them here.

SUNWrsgk        driver/network/secure-rpc               kernel RPCSEC_GSS

 That's not really a network driver is it?   Wouldn't "system/network"
 be better since it's for a network protocol, not hardware?

I suggested system/kernel/secure-rpc since it delivers kernel modules.

I don't see much distinction between what got put into the file/* vs.
command/* packages - should the file/* just be merged into command/* ?
(command/gnu-findutils vs. file/slocate doesn't make sense for instance.)

I mentioned this to Stephen as well and he said we can eliminate
"file".

SUNWgnome-ui-designer   gnome2/command/ui-designer      GNOME UI designer

  This would seem better as developer/gnome2/ui-designer

Agreed.

SUNWslrn               web/slrn                 slrn - S-Lang read news

  Usenet may be near dead, but it's not really "web" is it?

command/slrn?

SUNWpciaccess          service/pciaccess       PCI bus access library and tools

  This is libpciaccess & the scanpci command - there's no service here.
  Should probably be "system/library/pciaccess"

Since "scanpci" would be the component more often of interest, I had
suggested command/scanpci.

SUNWxcompmgr           system/X11/xcompmgr

  This is a user command so I'd just make it "x11/xcompmgr" instead of
  putting it under system.   (If you do leave it under system, you need
  to fix the typo of capitalizing X, where all the others are system/x11/*)

Seems reasonable as well.
