We have plenty > of programs written in C which aren't called c-foo. I think that section is pretty unclear for this case. The Python naming guidelines explicitly say "This rule does not apply to applications." and maybe there should be something similar here? I know people are excited about Rust in particular right now (I certainly enjoy it!), but naming end-user things by the language they are written in is a bad pattern. (createrepo_c, I'm lookin' at you!) Maybe one approach here would be for the source RPM to stay with the `rust-sevctl` convention, but for a subpackage containing the application binary to be just `sevctl`? -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ packaging mailing list -- packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to packaging-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
