Excerpts from Philip Brown's message of Fri Dec 18 17:44:17 -0500 2009: > by that argument, you might say that me naming "pkg-get" as such, and > not "apt-get", was just too confusing, because since the userland > syntax is the same, and it IS a 90% clone of apt-get, I should have > kept the name as apt-get.
The difference being pkg-get is an apt-get workalike. The package
Maciej has put forward is the 'real deal[1].'
While the name used in Debian is long and annoying to type, even with
auto-completion, it's really not something you interact with often, if
at all.
So, my 'vote' is that if we don't do a ground up reimplementation, we
stick with the name from Debian. If somebody wants to invest the time
tailoring a solution to CSW, pick a new name.

Is anyone else out there not making use of auto-completion shell
features? Life feels too short for that! :)

[1] It's the identical code/functionality split out from a larger
Debian package.
