I mean, at some point in time someone might want to port the BSD ls command to Fedora and then we'd have a difficult time naming commands. I'm not trying to defend the name 'bar' for this command. To me, we should install programs as named by the authors unless they conflict with something else already part of the system. Reserving command names for possible future use seems a bit subjective and pointless. That said, I'll work up a change to this package and repost because I really don't care what the name is so long as the package can enter Fedora and I don't need to keep carrying it along on the side. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
