Software name collision #21

Closed Mel34 closed 5 years ago

Mel34 commented 5 years ago

Just to let you know, there already exists a program in GNU world called drill authored by Jelte Jansen and Miek Gieben. It's been around since at least 2004.

By using word 'drill' as a name for your project you are creating a name collision. I understand that this is a very new project and in the interest of community I urge you to reconsider the name.

Is it correct to assume that just changing the binary name in /usr/bin and the folder name in opt will fix collisions?

And the package name in the CONTROL file in .deb

Mel34 commented 5 years ago

Yeah, software can be packaged under a different name. E.g. drillsearch instead of drill.

yatima1460 commented 5 years ago

fixed, renamed to "drill-search"
