Question about the repo name #24

Open chenrui333 opened 1 year ago

chenrui333 commented 1 year ago

We have some discussion about the proper formula name in this PR, here is the thread, it actually triggers me that why not name the repo into openrdap, just like what other openxxx do (openssh or openldap), this way I think it would be easier to push all the downstream package managers to use the openrdap rather than other names (right now it is a bit chaos). Let me know if that makes sense (I am also curious how we reached to this rdap rather than openrdap). Thanks!

The executable is named rdap, not openrdap; I'd say given that the project's focus is the CLI tool, it's consistent that the repository is named like it as well.

OpenSSH is a suite of tools, so it's not able to be named after any given tool specifically, not without splitting them up into different repositories. OpenLDAP is similar in this regard.

Just how I see it.
