2794 :: Outside of the permitted namespace

  Hey folks,

  I sat down today to make sure some of my projects work on the latest release of Nim. Most of the deprecation warnings were easy to resolve, but there is one that has left me scratching. Specifically:

  
     Warning: File 'common.nim' inside package 'perlin' is outside of the permitted namespace, should be inside a directory named 'perlin' but is in a directory named 'private' instead. This will be an error in the future.
        Hint: Rename the directory to 'perlin' or prevent its installation by adding `skipDirs = @["private"]` to the .nimble file.
  Run

  Here is the build: https://travis-ci.org/Nycto/PerlinNim#L1672-L1673

  And here is the repo for reference: https://github.com/Nycto/PerlinNim

  Basically, my file layout is this:

  
  perlin.nim
  private/common.nim
  private/perlin.nim
  private/simplex.nim
  Run

  Basically, I don't want anybody else directly importing anything in my private directory. This directory structures was suggested by the nimble readme. And I know I don't want to skipDirs = @["private"], because these files need to exist when installed.

  Soooo, what is the right way to handle this now?

  To be clear, by the way, I understand that I can rename my private directory to perlin and resolve this problem. But I'm interested in following conventions that suggest that these internal files should not themselves be directly consumed.

  Move your private directory into a perlin directory
