[Feature Request] name of binaries #238

Closed Brilator closed 6 months ago

Brilator commented 6 months ago

Regarding https://github.com/nfdi4plants/ARCCommander/releases/tag/v1.0.0

There's an issue with the names of the binaries / executables: arc_<OS>. All docs are written for arc ....

Option 1: The way it was before, having one release per OS.

Option 2: We adapt the installation, so that arc_<OS> is moved and added to $PATH as arc

Option 3: Only rename the windows executable to arc.exe, since on Linux and macOS we need to install "by hand" anyways (and follow option 2 there)

Thanks for the input, I agree that we need some sort of solution.

I'm really not a friend of Option 1. That's why I did the change. It clutteres the release history a lot. And the whole latest thing is kinda broken.

With Option 2 you mean having a rename step in the installation guide?

Yes. See PR linked above.

I'd say go. With the ARCitect taking the role as the community tool, the ARCCommander is becoming a niche tool for enthusiasts. They will probably manage a rename

Brilator commented 6 months ago

Alright. Would it still be easily automated to call the win thing arc.exe? So the windows people would still have the convenience of click-downloading (balanced with the inconvenience of adding to PATH)

HLWeil commented 6 months ago

Technically this would be a no-brainer, but it feels like a disturbance in the force (of order).

HLWeil commented 6 months ago

Done.
