current YP dev manual advises to not create recipe names with
reserved suffixes -native, -cross, -initial or -dev. i already know i should add -ptest to that list, what is the full list of reserved suffixes so i can make sure the dev manual is accurate? thanks.

That's not quite what it says, it says don't use them unless they apply for the recipe (and that's really only applicable to -native, -cross and - initial). Strictly speaking I wouldn't really describe these as "reserved" since that would suggest you could never use them.

I think the answer is probably to think twice before using anything in the default value of PACKAGES unless it makes sense (i.e. your recipe matches with the purpose of the naming convention).

Cheers,
Paul
