Potential conflict in package names - bear-devel and bear

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi everyone,

I have recently tried to package the utility called Bear (Build EAR),
a tool that generates a clang compilation database for build systems
that cannot generate one themselves.

I tried to submit the package and during review I was made aware of the
package bear-devel, which is already in the fedora repository. This
package are the development files for a game engine and are completely
unrelated to Bear. However, I can see a potential confusion for users,
when bear-devel and bear have nothing in common.

My question is: how should I address this issue? Renaming my proposed
package to Build-ear would be an option, but the binary should still be
called bear, to avoid confusion for users. Should I ask the upstream
author about their opinion concerning renaming?


Thanks in advance,

Dan
