Register purl pkg: scheme @ IANA
This came up as a topic in a recent discussion.... I think that with the actual adoption, now is a good time! I will draft the submission here and start the process of registering at IANA.
Yes please. The registration template can be found in RFC7595 Section 7.4, but do read the rest of the document. Today, anyone could conceivably request "pkg:" for other reasons. If you need help, contact me.
@elear I have been working on the registration a while back... I just pushed a PR for review as #141 I will socialize this today with the IETF URI review list too.
@coderpatros ^
Fantastic! I've just added purl support for my apt2sbom cyclonedx generation tool. I'll do the same with spdx when I understand where they want that info. Let me know if you want an extra pair of eyes.
I just sent this email to the uri-review list https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/uri-review/6m26SxW5e1eVzzQvQ-04oIbnqUY/
You guys may want to chime in there too.
(The IANA URI review highlights that it's not a URL, but a URI. But I guess it's to late for this project's name to be changed accordingly.)

Thank you for stopping by!
I am not sure I read the same from the current IANA discussion, unless I am missing something... do you have a specific quote and pointer you could share here?
FWIW, there have been several debates on this topic in the past. Do you mind to have a look at https://github.com/package-url/purl-spec/issues/5 and https://github.com/package-url/purl-spec/issues/9 for some background?
(Sorry for derailing this issue. Thanks a bunch for the links, those are insightful!)

@whiskeysierra you are not, that's cool!
Hmm. Purl reminds us of treasures, while puri reminds us of tasty Indian cuisine ;-) I'd suggest not fixating on the name...
Just a note, after this is done we would want to have it on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_URI_schemes as well <3
@pombredanne is there anything I can do to help get this registration submitted?
