RFE: better name for xfce-polkit
Last modified: 2015-11-12 11:24:58 EST
I would like to make a suggestion. -bash-4.3$ rpm -qa | grep -i "polkit" xfce-polkit-0.2-2.fc22.i686 polkit-0.113-4.fc22.i686 polkit-pkla-compat-0.1-5.fc22.i686 polkit-gnome-0.105-7.fc22.i686 polkit-libs-0.113-4.fc22.i686 That is the current output of the packages installed on my system (yes polkit-gnome got removed just after that output). As you see there seem to be some sort of naming convention (as I would describe it) for postfix'ing all packages with polkit-* It would be nice to have xfce-polkit renamed to polkit-xfce to fit better into this convention. This is a backported package build from SRPM for Fedora 22... in case you wonder why there is such a package.
Sorry, xfce-polkit is the original upstream name. Besides it's another separate upstream and *not* a part of that official polkit upstream. Therefore I do not want to change. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#General_Naming Kevin, what do you think about this?
I don't see any need to change the name. If you can convince upstream to change we could follow suit, but it seems like a lot of makework. ;)
Sorry again, but a name change does not make any sense to me.
