Conflict with another program #164

Open mdomlop opened 4 years ago

mdomlop commented 4 years ago

There is another program, which is older, with the same executable name (vis: https://www.brain-dump.org/projects/vis/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vis-git/ ).

You cannot (at least in Arch) have both installed at the same time.

It is necessary to change both the name of the executable and the configuration directory. I suggest the new name: cvis. The configuration would be stored in ~/.config/cvis/ or ~/.config/cli-visualizer/.

Which has no conflicts and is more consistent with the name of your package.

Please change the name of the executable. Thanks for your attention.

I experienced this same problem on Debian, using the Vis editor from the repositories. This install script overwrote the vis executable as well as the manual page. It also wrote to the same config directory as the Vis editor.

Furthermore, there is an issues page here showing how the Vis editor (and therefore this project) also has a naming conflict with a base Unix utility on BSDs.
