About the rename of restore-trash in trash-cli package

Dear Fedora developers,
 ÂI'm the upstream developer of trash-cli.
I saw in package announce[1] that you decided to change of restore-trash into trash-restore.
I appreciate your work but in this case I'mÂnot happy with one of the last change.Â

I'm preparing [4] a program called trash-restore to be included in trash-cli that would behave in a different way that restore-trash. So your decision could cause me problems.

I'd better liked if this type of change will be discussed with me before to be implemented in a so famous distribution.

In the time that was published it was using these command names:
Â- trash (for trashing a file)
Â- empty-trash (for empty the trashcan)
Â- list-trash (for listing the contents of the trashcan)
Â- restore-trash (for put back a trashed file)

I was happy about my command name choice as the packagers of Debian and Ubuntu were. So they packaged my application for thoseÂdistributions.

Instead, during the first packaging for Fedora, some problems happen.ÂThe name 'trash' wasn't accepted by theÂpackage reviewer so after a long discussion (see [2], and [3]) and I end up to change the names into: trash-put, trash-empty, trash-list. But I left alone restore-trash for reserving trash-restore for future development as described in the wiki [4].Â

All the trash-* are supposed to ben non interactive, the new trash-restore will be but the old restore-trash is not.

Thank you
