because somebody registered package named 'dutils' on dub registry and now it collides with my local package with same name.

I think I've came up with some collision avoid decision: I'll calc CRC for my 'github.com/AnimusPEXUS' profile and will use it like so: 'p315cffe8_packagename' so all my packages will have 'p315cffe8' prefix in names.. or maybe 'crc32_315cffe8_packagename', to define hash method.

Why not AnimusPEXUS.packagename? Similar to arsd.*, mir.* or some other package name prefixes. This should work fine and avoid collisions until somebody intentionally hijacks your package prefix name (but in this case p315cffe8 won't save you either).

because 315CFFE8 covers whole 'github.com/AnimusPEXUS' which is less likely will change soon. and AnimusPEXUS doesn't (and shouldn't) mean anything to anybody on it's own.

and to avoid cybersquatting on dub repo, I'd rather make and agreement with dub repo's owner to make 'p315cffe8' prefix locked to be used for my packages only.

Gives me something to think about, personally. My nickname does not mean "C compiler", just in case anyone was curious, but I imagine that would still be a bit disorienting if I were to publish modules under it. 😏
