Which name to use to create a package #125

Hi! I'm currently packaging this software but I'm not sure which name I should give it.

Right now, I have a few ideas in mind:

Perhaps linux-wallpaper-engine? Seeing as all 3 are different words

Almamu commented 2 years ago

@rapenne-s Sorry for the late reply, ideally the package should be named exactly the same as the binary, but I do think that wallengine (the name of the binary) is a bit non-descriptive and hard to understand unless you really know what you're looking for.

Personally, I'd go for linux-wallpaperengine for both package and binary, so it also match with the repository name. I'll commit a change with the binary rename (and a fallback for the old name so it doesn't break anyone that uses it).
