When importing items, make template option use the same Display name #248

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
When using an existing repo item as a template, the item name is carried over, 
but not the display name. For example:

This item is similar to an existing item in the repo:
            Item name: munkitools_core
         Display name: Munki Tools Core
          Description: Core components for Munki software distribution system.
              Version: 0.8.4.1770.0
  Installer item path: utilities/munkitools_core-0.8.4.1770.0.dmg

Use existing item as a template? [y/n] y
Copying unattended_install: True
      Item name [munkitools_core]:
   Display name [munki_core]:

This is expected behavior -- we use the display name that we derive from the 
package itself in preference to the one from an earlier package. Obviously 
that's not always the right thing to do.

The opposite decision might not always be the right thing, either.

There are other tools in development that will address this issue, so no 
changes are currently planned for munkiimport.
