Hello, guys. There exists file collision between sgml-common-utils and docbook2x packages and that's why most distributions use --program-transform-name to make different naming of programs in docbook2x. Recently I've received bug report that our naming convention does not follow debian one. I've checked few other distributions and found that they use: AltLinux: --program-transform-name='s/docbook2/db2x_docbook2/' Redhat EL, Fedore: --program-transform-name='s/docbook2/db2x_docbook2/' Debian: --program-transform-name="s/^docbook2/docbook2x-/" OpenSuse: just moves files to docbook-to-man and docbook-to-texi Mandriva: does nothing Gentoo: --program-transform-name='s,\(docbook2.*\),\1.pl,' So what I'm looking for is some consistent naming that we could agree on and ask upstream to add some notes into their package. Personally I like names which starts with the same name as original utility to simplify search of necessary tool in shell (with tab competition). But what do you think about this? What upstream can suggest? P.S. It's not always obvious for me if I picked up correct maintainer, so in case I did mistake, please, forward this mail to correct maintainer in your distribution. Thank you. With best regards, -- -- Peter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft(Continue reading)
