Well, people seem to be happy to "invade" other namespaces, just look at how much packages start with "apt-" ;) [which confuses users, because they think the APT team is the right team to talk to]. But we don't have the replacement problem, there is no apt-ng package or similar. > > > I'm aware that I'm going to be upsetting people, but this has been a long > > time coming and I'm not going to spend time bikeshedding over naming. > > As an ftpmaster I can tell you that you will have to spend more time on > bikeshedding over the name. live-build-ng wont fly. May I suggest debian-cd-live or debian-live-cd as a name? That would be close in name to debian-cd, highlighting its use case. Or vmdebootstrap-live if you want to focus on vmdebootstrap name-wise (you being maintainer here). -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
