@thomasarsouze : if you modify the namespace, you will have to change all the tests, the examples, and the doc also.

[thomasarsouze]

@pradal : yes this is what I thought, but as mentioned yesterday, we're working first on packages that already have the namespace, which is not the case here.
Also, this is good to first discuss and confirm all that with @RamiALBASHA : I you think this is ok with you, just let me know, I can do the job and let you do the review to check everything. Just to be very clear, we're talking here about having the same way to name all openalea packages for the upcoming release, which would mean in this case switching from import hydroshoot to import openalea.hydroshoot.

[RamiALBASHA]

@thomasarsouze I think that this is a good idea to harmonize the way openalea packages are treated, although it makes things a bit verbose.
I think however that we should make a minor increase to the version. By doing so, I suppose that we will prevent future errors from raising for codes already calling hydroshoot with an explicit version number (prior to the one with the new namespace). Do you confirm?
Best

Sorry for the late reply @RamiALBASHA. Indeed it is much safer to have a new release associated with this namespace change to prevent code break or at least make it easier to debug. As the hydroshoot package manager, I let you decide how to tag your version.

[thomasarsouze]

Tests all pass ok. However, before merging, please be aware that at the moment, Caribu with corrected namespace has not been released on all OS / python versions (cf. here).

Issue is currently handled though: openalea/caribu#50

[RamiALBASHA]

Ok, thanks @thomasarsouze. Is there any deadline for merging? I need to take my time on this issue.

[thomasarsouze]

No rush...
It would be nice if hydroshoot can be part of the final openalea release, but you still have some time ahead.

[pradal]

@RamiALBASHA I will create another issue that list all the steps to release hydroshoot.
We will rename hydroshoot into openalea.hydroshoot.

Then you will be able to install hydroshoot (old version) or openalea.hydroshoot (new namespace) from conda
