Hello Joost! Could you elaborate a bit on what you mean? Do you mean that generic names are useful for things like "editor", that are provided by update-alternatives? What I meant is, that it would be unfortunate for an editor program to be called "editor" or "edit". I like the idea of "editor" in the sense of a meta-name for all editors via update-alternatives, but this only works when there are a lot of programs with the same scope. And the "editor" name is provided by Debian, not upstream. > Maybe you should have a look at update-alternatives. I doubt that the various recording programs are similar enough for update-alternatives... Marcus -- "Rhubarb is no Egyptian god."
