Consider renaming the project to indicate that it's management API #2

Closed prashanthpai closed 6 years ago

prashanthpai commented 6 years ago

GlusterFS has bindings for:

I/O operation (libgfapi)
Management operations

The name glusterapi-python can very easily be mistook for I/O bindings especially when libgfapi-python's RPM has been named python-glusterfs-api, rightly so, after the C library RPM which is named glusterfs-api. Please consider including mgmt or management word somewhere in the name.

Bump!

The sooner the better. There are only 5 contributors and 4 forks currently. Renaming repository at a later stage will cause a larger disruption.

phlogistonjohn commented 6 years ago

A couple other variants:

python-gluster-admin-api
glusteradmin-api

I like the word "admin" because it's easy to type :-)

Who's "got the power" to make the final decision to implement the rename?

sac commented 6 years ago

We will avoid glusteradmin or gluster-admin because there is another project called gadmin, which might cause confusion.

How about `python-glusterd-client', Devyani can change the name once we finalise. Currently we have just Madhu, Devyani, and John who have forked the project. We can request them to reclone.

Ah. Understandable.

How about `python-glusterd-client',

Is "glusterd" widely enough understood as the "management daemon" for this to be discover-able? If so, that's probably OK although I think I'd prefer Prashanth's suggestion of "management" to that. I'll also throw the word "control" into the mix... but that'll be the last synonym I suggest.

Devyani can change the name once we finalise. Currently we have just Madhu, Devyani, and John who have forked the project. We can request them to reclone.

I certainly have no problems re-cloning.

python-gluster-mgmt-client? It is a bit longer, what do you think?

sac commented 6 years ago

Cool then. @Madhu-1 @prashanthpai @aravindavk what do you think about the name? If none of you have any issues, I will request @devyanikota to rename the project.

devyanikota commented 6 years ago

Waiting on: @prashanthpai @aravindavk Does "python-gluster-mgmt-client" looks good? If yes, then I'll go ahead and change it.

prashanthpai commented 6 years ago

@devyanikota Sounds good to me.

phlogistonjohn commented 6 years ago

@devyanikota please do!

devyanikota commented 6 years ago

Closing this issue. Thanks all.
