Galaxy name conflict #201

Closed Fale closed 7 years ago

Fale commented 7 years ago

This bug is against https://github.com/ansible/galaxy, but it has no issue enabled yet and @jimi-c told me to open it here.

The problem is that his module uses the name 'galaxy', which is already used by https://pypi.python.org/pypi/galaxy. In case the pypi galaxy module is installed, this would conflict with it, due to how python resolves dependencies.

The solution is probably to rename Ansible galaxy to ansible-galaxy or ansible-galaxy-server so that it does not conflict. Also, even if Ansible Galaxy will not be published via pypi, "reserve" the name could be a sane idea to ensure the problem will not occur again

I agree with the above assessment; using galaxy is a too generic name and it would be best to use ansible-galaxy instead

The name galaxy-server has been reserved. At some point the project will be renamed, if it turns out we need to push releases to pypi.

This actually does not solve the current problem
