Please choose a more descriptive name for the "migrate" utility #21

While packaging postgresql-simple-migration for openSUSE, our reviewers complained about the tool migrate, which feels like a somewhat poor naming choice because the name gives no clue at all about what it's migrating. Do you think it would be possible to rename that executable to something more descriptive, like postgresql-simple-migrate maybe?

ameingast commented 7 years ago

Renaming the executable is trivial, but I don't want to break backwards compatibility.

Is there any way to fix the naming issue on your side by just renaming the binary when installing it?

I'll keep this open for a bit so other users can weigh in.

Well, I don't want to install a binary in openSUSE that's called differently than what the package advertises.
