Dear mentors, Thank you for your answers. Well, until/unless I find a better alternative name, I will keep the current one at the moment. -- Emmanuel Thomas-Maurin manutm...@gmail.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Dear mentors, Sorry if this is a silly question. I previously mentionned the name choice was not definitive but must I pick *first* a fully suitable one in order to get a chance of getting sponsorded?

Isn't the upstream name 'newsrssticker'? I would go with the upstream name unless there is a name clash, which it doesn't look like there is. FWIW, I don't believe you need to file a new ITP, you can just change the name and close the ITP of 'i-news'. -matt zagrabelny -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Sorry, I know this is redundant but I need a final answer. You must not, but you can think about it. If you want to increase your chance to get your package into Debian you, can - perhaps - consider it. If you think the name is fine, keep it - but make sure you don't install /usr/bin/inews at least. You have been pointed to the problem of (too) generic names and possible name clashes.

The package name should somehow match the upstream name. The upstream name is your decision as the upstream developer. Debian doesn't have anything to do with choosing upstream names, except when it's a really bad choice when it's too generic or conflicts with the name of another package.
