Hello, During the review for inclusion in fedora extras a reviewer found that some files of elektra had names that were to common, and could lead to name clash. The issue is in fact very relevant for kdb, with kdb itself, kdb.h and kdb.1 kdb.3.
I think that the include files should be in a directory, and therefore end up in, say, /usr/include/elektra This should be changed without creating issues since elektra uses pkgconfig. I think this really should be done. And kdb.h could have a more relevant name like elektra-keys.h. The kdb executable could also have its name changed to something more relevant, and similarly with kdbd. Indeed these names don't show that they are part of elektra. For example kdb could be elektra-admin, or elektra-cmd, or something along those lines. and kdbd could be elektrad, or kdb-server. The changes in executable names will be much more painful, so it should be considered carefully wether they are needed or not. Symlinks or hardlinks could be used for a given number of releases or some amount of time to keep backward compatibility. -- Pat ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
