Need to rename - existing Dart network_manager package #1

Closed robert-ancell closed 4 years ago

robert-ancell commented 4 years ago

There is an existing network_manager package, so this needs a new name. Suggestions: -nm -nmclient -nm_client -network_manager_client -networkmanager -fdo_network_manager

Would it be useful to have just a simplified connectivity package that provides simple state info, like connected and what kind of connection?

Do we need a full-fledged network-manager client package?

kenvandine commented 4 years ago

If we want a package for this, then I'd vote for networkmanager

robert-ancell commented 4 years ago

Yeah, I think networkmanager is the best name out of the options. Renamed.

I don't think we need a full network-manager client right now, but the way the D-Bus API works is you get all the state together, so we might as well make a package that can do everything. We don't need to fill out all the properties/methods right now though (or at all if there's no demand).

When I try to upload: Package name is too similar to another active or moderated package.

robert-ancell commented 4 years ago

I've emailed the developer to ask if they'd consider renaming - their project is only one month old and not depended on by anything at this time.
