Naming differences #203

Closed binarykitchen closed 3 years ago

Why it is sometimes called homeshick, then homesick? Nowhere mentioned in install instructions. Thanks for explaining.

andsens commented 3 years ago

Hi there, it's only called homesick without an h in the path. This was originally to support compatibility with homesick by technicalpickles. I think if there were to be a major revision of homeshick that compatibility would be dropped in favor of consistency, but for now we're stuck with that.

@andsens ok, I get it. Recommend two things:

andsens commented 3 years ago

document this somewhere

It is

provide your own apt-get install for Linux machines cos it interfers with the naming

homeshick is made to be user installable in order to not require any root privileges. However, there are packages for Arch, SUSE, and homebrew. These packages were made to scratch some specific itches, but I am not the maintainer of those and am not looking to take on any package maintenance. If you would like to maintain a dpkg you are welcome to do so, it's even documented a little.

Ah thanks man, I must have missed that out. Understand now.
