E.g. just look at the ImageMagick package--there are tons of generic command names that don't mention "ImageMagick" (or any abbreviation thereof) in their names: >rpm -ql ImageMagick|grep bin /usr/bin/animate /usr/bin/compare /usr/bin/composite /usr/bin/conjure /usr/bin/convert /usr/bin/display /usr/bin/identify /usr/bin/import /usr/bin/mogrify /usr/bin/montage /usr/bin/stream So I propose we keep calling the project DNF and the package dnf, but start the transition to a generic command name for "the tool that installs, removes, and updates packages". I propose that this command name be called "pkg". We can keep backwards compatibility to both the "yum" command name and the "dnf" command name indefinitely. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
